Health Benefits Of Cacao Tea

By Kerri Stout


When making chocolate from cocoa beans the shell is a byproduct. This shell or husk is not a waste as it is used to make cacao tea. This tea is widely used in many parts of the world with highest numbers of users in Africa. It has many health benefits for the users.

Vitamins and minerals; it comes packed with many minerals and vitamins. Much needed Vitamin C in our bodies is found in it. Minerals such as potassium, copper, iron, magnesium and calcium all necessary for our body functions are found in the cacao husks which is used to make the tea. Our bodies can't function well in lack of these minerals. For example we need iron to make red blood cells.

Health of the heart; heart diseases can be deadly, they also limit your life on the activities you can do. So keeping your heart healthy is not an option; it is a must. Drinking this tea is one of the ways you can reduce chances of getting heart disease or complications. Magnesium in it increases the blood flow while copper makes blood cells have higher affinity to oxygen.

Feeling good; serotonin levels in our body are what determine our moods. The compounds found in cocoa increase levels of serotonin and balance it for a contentment feeling and happiness all day. For this reason cocoa is considered to be aphrodisiac for men and women though this is a theory yet to be scientifically proven.

The brain function; the increase of your brain activity is always beneficial to you because you become alert and lively. Side effects such as headaches are always found in things that increase brain activity; cocoa has the brain activity capabilities without the side effects. The effects of cacao in comparison with caffeine are similar yet cocoa does not have heart problems which is in the case of caffeine thus it is better. There is therefore more health sense whilst drinking this tea.

Fighting illness; diabetes has been one of the main diseases affecting people across all nations and social classes. You and old no one is spared from diabetes. Most people suffering from diabetes there are some foods they are not required to eat so as not to worsen their conditions. Cocoa which is not sweetened can be good for those looking for something to drink since it doesn't increase the levels of sugar in blood and it leads to improvement in cell function.

Antioxidants; cacao comes loaded with antioxidants compounds equivalent to those found in fruits, grains and vegetables. The use of antioxidants in our bodies is slowing down the aging process which most people don't like to be associated with. Cacao gives you higher antioxidants than that in green tea or in red wine. This tea will give you almost same amount of antioxidants to those in blueberries.

Listing all its benefits is almost impossible as some of them have not been found. For a healthier life, you can keep it in your kitchen cabinet; surprisingly it was once thought to be waste. Every person's wish is a long and healthy life, cocoa tea is the answer to that, because it improves serotonin in your body.
