Cocoa contains a minimal dose of caffeine, but this does not stop him from cheering you up in the early morning. The drink has a milder tonic effect, and therefore does not cause jumps in blood pressure.

What is useful cocoa

Regular consumption of cocoa contributes to the productive work of the brain. The antioxidant flavanol contained in cocoa beans improves cerebral circulation and normalizes blood pressure, and therefore a cocoa drink, like chocolate, is useful for people who have poor blood flow in the vessels of the brain.

Study participants who took a daily cocoa supplement for 3.5 years had a 27% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to study participants who were given a placebo.

In addition, it lifts the mood. Thanks to tryptophan, the drink can help cope with depression.

Is it possible to drink cocoa every day

Cocoa can be consumed no more than two cups a day. This rule is for adults only. In the same way, pregnant women should not drink the drink.
