Cocoa is considered a “super food” for its high levels of antioxidants. It is rich in minerals, such as: zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, iron, and calcium. Its powerful antioxidant action in the organism neutralizes the effects of cellular damage caused by free radicals from stress, poor diet, pollution, inflammation, and obesity. It assists in blood vasodilation which, along with other actions, can prevent cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, it decreases LDL (bad cholesterol), increases serotonin, dopamine and phenylethylamine levels in the central nervous system, which in turn generates a feeling of well-being.
