My tiny study and summary of cocoa.

Cocoa is strongly believed to have numerous health benefits...

Cocoa: according too studies made has been with us since the Maya Civilisation in central America. It was introduced too the Europeans by the Spanish conquerors during the 16th century.

Cocoa powder is made by crushing the cocoa bean.

Bennfits.

Polyphenols: is a natural antioxidant which we find in fruits vegetables, wine and teas.

Over processing: Will "reduce the health benefits". Which explains why many of us cannot consume certain brands.

One study: made on 157,809 people found that higher consumption of cocoa, reduced heart disease, strokes lowered blood pressure, improved cholesterol as well as lowering blood sugar levels. In addition it is thought to improve blood flow to the brain which reduces anxiety and depression.

Theophylline: Found in cocoa
May help our lungs to dilate and could potentially ease asthma symptoms.

final note: It has been used for many centuries and is used in most countries.





I will write some of the details out when I'm more awake :)

I bake whatever catches tummy's my fancy! Made Challah bread for the first time recently. Pretty proud of how well it turned out! I'd never made bread by hand before this!
I also LOVE 'indian fry bread'.
