Doctors and nutritionists an alternative drink to caffeinated goodies for a vigorous start to the day is increasingly recommended – cocoa.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to the Telegram channel “Blog about health”.
It is noted that the above-mentioned delicacy is not just a tasty dessert. It is a real source of energy that can improve your well-being and increase your efficiency throughout the day.
Cocoa deservedly takes its place as one of the most nutritious and healthy drinks. Its unique chemical composition includes more than 300 different elements, making it a real treasure trove for health.
In one cup you will find such important components as amino acids, antioxidants, fiber, vitamins E, K, almost all B vitamins, as well as minerals: phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese. This is not just a drink for pleasure – it is real support for the body.
The vitamins and microelements contained in cocoa help strengthen the immune system, and antioxidants neutralize free radicals, slowing down the aging process and preventing the development of chronic diseases. In addition, due to the presence of magnesium and fiber, cocoa improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system and normalizes digestion, which is especially important for people with a busy schedule.
In addition to physical benefits, cocoa has the ability to improve mood. Flavonoids and theobromine contained in the drink stimulate the production of serotonin – the hormone of joy. This makes cocoa an excellent natural antidepressant. For those who regularly experience emotional overload, a cup of cocoa can become an important element of the morning routine, helping to maintain a good mood throughout the working day.
In addition, the Ministry of Health warned how to protect yourself from polluted air during dust storms.
