Low carb chocolate cake recipe – Health benefits of cocoa

There's nothing quite like the taste of chocolate (unofficially the world's most craved food). Unfortunately, with great taste comes great consequences. Chocolate always comes with tons of calories in the form of fat and sugar, right?

Not necessarily – there’s a way to satisfy those chocolate cravings while improving your overall health. Introducing cocoa powder, the answer to all your problems. First, let me explain what cocoa powder is.

The chocolate-making process begins with cocoa beans from cocoa trees. After the cocoa beans are harvested and fermented (to reach their full flavor potential), they are dried and roasted, then ground into a paste. From this paste, cocoa butter can be extracted, leaving behind dry cocoa powder. A combination of the cocoa powder and cocoa butter (with the addition of some sweeteners) is used to make the chocolate we love in our mouths.

In addition to being an essential ingredient in the kitchen, cocoa powder can be used in a variety of ways and can be added to just about anything. You can make hot chocolate with it, add it to your pancakes, put it in yogurt, or even eat it raw (although this is not recommended) – check out this article for some inspiration on how to use a different powder in any food.

Cocoa powder can provide that delicious chocolate flavor while offering you some amazing benefits. Check it out.

Low calorie/high fiber

One tablespoon of cocoa powder, depending on the brand, is only 10 calories. It contains less than a gram of fat, just three grams of carbohydrates, and one gram of protein. In addition to these great low numbers, the fiber content of cocoa powder is incredible, with up to two grams per tablespoon.

Fiber is essential to maintaining a healthy diet, and this 3:2 carb to fiber ratio is one of the best in the game. Cocoa powder is a very simple (and delicious) way to get more fiber into your body with a very small amount of calories.

Minerals

This magic powder contains the minerals iron, manganese, magnesium and zinc.

Iron is important for transporting oxygen throughout the body, producing red blood cells, and supporting the immune system. Manganese is part of an enzyme that forms cartilage and bones, metabolizes nutrients, and acts as an antioxidant throughout the body.

Magnesium produces energy and helps keep your heart beating. Finally, zinc supports your immune system while helping to produce and develop new cells. All of these benefits can be obtained by eating a tablespoon of cocoa powder, which contains three to nine percent of your recommended daily intake of these minerals.

Flavonoids

One of the main components of cocoa powder's health benefits is the presence of epicatechin and catechin, which are two plant-based substances called flavonoids.

While both prevent systemic inflammation by functioning as antioxidants, epicatechin can also relax the muscles in your blood vessels, resulting in better blood flow and lower blood pressure. Flavonoids and great flavor? Cocoa powder is doing us a big favor.

Antidepressant

There is some evidence to suggest that cocoa powder may act as an antidepressant. In addition to the immediately joy-inducing chocolate flavor, the neurotransmitter phenethylamine in the powder acts as a mood elevator and natural antidepressant.

Cocoa powder can also stimulate the body's natural opiates called endorphins, as well as the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is stimulated by antidepressants to improve overall happiness.

Caffeine

Each tablespoon of cocoa contains about 12 mg of caffeine. Sure, that might not be much compared to a cup of coffee or a glass of soda, but let’s be real—any amount of caffeine is a plus.

The next time you crave chocolate, you can forget all its stigmas and negative attributes because cocoa powder has a mouth-watering flavor with incredible nutritional benefits. The best part is being able to eat chocolate-flavored foods multiple times a day without feeling guilty. Instead, feel good about treating your body (and your taste buds) right.
