5 Benefits of Cocoa! - DTUBE DAILY #62

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):

1. It's an antidepressant
   -contain dopamine and serotonin

2. Contains antioxidants
   -protect against cell damage and help prevent several cancers
   -3 times the amount of green tea and 2 times red wine

3. Gives you energy!
   -contains caffeine, but no crash because fewer stimulants

4. 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

5. 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!
