Cocoa Beans: High in nutrition and good for your well-being!

"Chocolate comes from cocoa, which is a tree. That makes it a plant. Chocolate is a salad." Bill Murray

Imagine sitting by a cliff where the sea crashes over the land, the compelling winds are swinging melodies and you are enticing over a luscious velvety bar of chocolate in this weather. The view itself is breathtaking but chocolate adds wonders to such moments.

Since childhood, you must have had an experience of being controlled over your chocolate diet, hearing things like, ‘it’s bad for your teeth!’ But, have you ever come across the benefits of cocoa beans and how they regulate your body’s mechanisms?

So far you’ve come across all the gloomy details about this heavenly matter and you never came around to the good part of it. Cocoa beans are rich in polyphenols, which are naturally occurring antioxidants. They have been linked to numerous health benefits, which include reduced inflammation, better blood flow, lower blood pressure, and improved cholesterol and blood sugar levels, to name a few. No wonder that chocolates are offered as a sentiment for love on different occasions as they are proven to be good for the heart; eating up to one serving of chocolate per day may reduce your risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke!

Flavanols, a type of polyphenol, present in the cocoa beans support the neuron production. These neurons as we know are the foundation for our nervous system and support all the conscious activities of a human being. They may also have a role in preventing age-related brain degeneration, such as in Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, chocolate may help you stay young!

Besides aiding in the general homeostasis of the body, cocoa beans have helped us deal with our mood swings. They work as antidepressants for us and provide us a sense of contentment and satisfaction. Although chocolates are forbidden for diabetic patients because of their high sugar content but the cocoa itself when taken in its bitter form, actually reduces the risk of diabetes. Similarly, cocoa products are associated with a lower weight, and the addition of cocoa to your diet may help achieve faster weight loss.

In recent studies, ‘Cocoa extract’ has demonstrated some anti-asthmatic properties in animal studies. However, human trials are needed before it can be recommended as a treatment. The flavanols in cocoa have been shown to have promising anti-cancer properties in test-tube and animal studies, but data from human trials are still lacking. It’s only a matter of time and no sooner cocoa beans will be on the top of the medicinal chain, assisting humans in all spheres of life.

Cocoa beans are assumed to be bad for the teeth, but the villain in our chocolates is not the cocoa but the high sugar content which provides food for the bacteria which then forms cavities. The quality and the right quantity of cocoa can boost your vitals and improve your metabolism.
