Cocoa: Antidote Against Depression

Surely, in the lowest moments of our mood, we crave a little chocolate. Well, we are right to do so, because for psychologists, cocoa is highly recommended against depression and discouragement, as it gives us vitality and energy. Cocoa contains nutrients that make us secrete more serotonin, which is the hormone that lifts our spirits and is completely connected to happiness. So, a pinch of cocoa taken regularly will give us a great sense of well-being and positivity. It is well known that cocoa is a source of energy. This is due to its many properties that benefit our body. For example, it is rich in vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and contains iron and magnesium, suitable for all ages. Several doctors recommend it, always in small doses, because it is beneficial for the heart, as it acts as a protector of vascular function, which helps to lower blood pressure. Among all types of chocolate, dark chocolate is the purest, and since it is not mixed with milk or other derivatives, it is the best for our body in general.
