Hey everyone!
In today's video I want to talk about 5 awesome health benefits of cocoa beans!
When I was in Guatemala earlier this year I bought a small bag of cocoa beans. I didn't start munching on them right away, but I've been slowly eating this bag I brought back and it's lasting a long time! After I bought some I looked up the health benefits because apparently they're a superfood. I was like, "Hey, so are chia seeds! What's different about these?"
Here are 5 health benefits of cocoa beans! (there are many more than this):
-
It's an antidepressant
-contain dopamine and serotonin -
Contains antioxidants
-protect against cell damage and help prevent several cancers
-3 times the amount of green tea and 2 times red wine -
Gives you energy!
-contains caffeine, but no crash because fewer stimulants -
Helps you lose weight!
-Improves your sensitivity to insulin
-which (may) support weight loss efforts
-the natural antidpressants found in cocoa can help an individual stay on track with a diet -
It protects your teeth!
-contains theobromine, which hardens your tooth enamel!
These are the five benefits I go over in the video. I love how bitter they are and all the health benefits as well. A great mid-day snack!
Hope you all enjoyed this one and we'll catch you back here for the next one!
Peace!
Jordan
