1. Reduces High Blood Pressure
There are a number of benefits in consuming cocoa extract as a part of your daily health routine. For example, cocoa extract, in both dark chocolate and powdered forms, can help reduce high blood pressure. This health benefit is largely due to the flavanols present in cocoa. Believe it or not, cocoa that contains between 30 to 1,218 mg of flavanols can help reduce blood pressure levels by at least two mmHg. Studies suggest that flavanols can help decrease blood pressure levels by helping to improve blood vessel function and also by increasing the blood's nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide helps dilate and relax the blood vessels and arteries, also helping to improve blood flow.
2. Reduces Risk of Stroke and Heart Attack
Not only is cocoa extract good for the heart, it is also good for the brain. Flavanols are able to pass through the brain-blood barrier and perform an important function in the pathways of the biochemical production of essential molecules and neurons, which, in turn, play a vital role in the function of the brain. Flavanols also improve nitric oxide production within the brain. Nitric oxide helps to relax the muscles of the blood vessels in your body. This can help to improve the flow of blood to the brain. The flavanols in cocoa may even play a part in the prevention of brain degeneration related to age, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. However, more studies are necessary to confirm these possible benefits.
3. Cognitive Function
Not only is cocoa extract good for the heart, it is also good for the brain. Flavanols are able to pass through the brain-blood barrier and perform an important function in the pathways of the biochemical production of essential molecules and neurons, which, in turn, play a vital role in the function of the brain. Flavanols also improve nitric oxide production within the brain. Nitric oxide helps to relax the muscles of the blood vessels in your body. This can help to improve the flow of blood to the brain. The flavanols in cocoa may even play a part in the prevention of brain degeneration related to age, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. However, more studies are necessary to confirm these possible benefits.
4. Reduces Inflammation and Improves Cholesterol Levels
Cocoa also offers your body an abundance of polyphenols, which can provide the body with a large number of health benefits as well. These benefits include a reduction in inflammation in the body and improvement in cholesterol levels, as people who take the extract attest. Keep in mind, though, that the cocoa extraction process that turns it into other products (such as chocolate) can significantly decrease the levels of polyphenols
What is Cocoa Extract?
Cocoa extract, though boasting a chocolaty taste, is a bitter mix comprising of xanthine molecules and procyanidins. Cocoa extract comes from, of course, cocoa beans, through a process of crushing or grinding the beans and then eliminating the butter or fat from the cocoa. Those who opt to supplement with cocoa extract have noted a great number of health-related benefits. These include improvements in their cognition, cardiovascular system and, consequently, in blood circulation. These benefits are largely thanks to the antioxidants present in cocoa extract (x).
Many people assume that there is no difference between the words "cacao" and "cocoa." However, there is a significant difference. Raw cocoa extract is cacao that has been pressed to eliminate the fat, but is then roasted at high heat. Raw cacao, though, is extracted by way of cold-pressing the unroasted cacao beans to keep living enzymes, while still eliminating the fat.
Cocoa is most certainly something that many people are familiar with. It is easily one of the most well-known ingredients in the world. However, very few people are aware of the health benefits that cocoa extract has to offer.
