Benefits of cacao

  • Positive effects on the cardiovascular system

    Cacao, properly grown and processed, has a positive effect on our heart, brain and overall physiology. Regular cacao consumption is associated with a lower risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. Cacao products help to reduce blood pressure and the risk of thrombus (clot) formation. Cacao may also help to stop atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels. This is due to the antioxidants it contains, which reduce oxidative damage to cells, and the similar effect of flavonoids to aspirin, which reduces the risk of atherosclerotic plaque formation in blood vessels.

  • Improves post-workout recovery

    Studies have shown that consuming cacao -containing products before exercise speeds up psychological and metabolic recovery after exercise. The study also found that blood glucose levels remained more stable during exercise compared to a placebo group that did not consume cacao -based products before exercise. Theobromine in cacao also blocks adenosine receptors, briefly increasing the ability of muscles to contract.

  • Protects the nervous system

    Cacao has been shown in scientific studies to improve blood flow to the brain. It also shows better intellectual performance and a lower risk of stroke in people who consume daily cacao-based products. A study in Switzerland found that people who had previously experienced high levels of anxiety after consuming cacao products for 14 days reported much lower levels of anxiety later on. This is due to an increase in the levels of the calming hormone serotonin in the body. Cacao also contains the methylxanthines theobromine and caffeine, which increase alertness and productivity.

  • Reduces the risk of diabetes and obesity

    High blood sugar and obesity are closely linked to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that cacao can reduce overweight, adipose tissue and triglyceride (fat) levels in the blood. Another area of research is cellular insulin sensitivity, which is particularly reduced in diabetes. Cacao can also help in this respect, as flavonoids in cacao have been shown to increase tissue insulin sensitivity. This may be useful in the treatment of diabetes to achieve optimal blood glucose levels.

  • Helps fight allergies

    An allergy is an abnormal reaction of the immune system to a particular allergen. This is especially true for people with atopic skin. In a study, a cacoa diet was found to lead to a decrease in total immunoglobulin E, tumour necrosis factor and interleukin-10 (factors responsible for allergic reactions). This demonstrates that flavonoids in cacao may be of particular help in the treatment of allergic diseases.

  • Positively effects the digestive system

    The procyanidins and fibre in cacao stimulate the growth of good intestinal bacteria once they reach the large intestine. Long-term consumption of cacao products can alter the composition of gut bacteria and the gut's immune response. It has been observed that when the production of immunoglobulin A by lymphocytes in the gut decreases, the amount of potentially harmful bacteria such as Bacteroides, Clostridium or Staphylococcus decreases. The substances in cacao can also help fight inflammatory reactions, coeliac disease, allergic and autoimmune diseases by altering the immune response. The antioxidants found in cacao can also reduce oxidative stress reactions in the body.

    Laimingos klientės atsiliepimas apie kakavos romaną

    Cocoa came to me a few years ago through Evelina, the ambassador of “Kakavos Romanas” in Klaipėda. She introduced me to quality cacao, how to prepare it, its properties and benefits. I immediately felt that this person was living it, believing in it, sharing it wholeheartedly. First cup and I'm hooked. I experienced that cacao is wonderful, that it opens the heart to love, to warmth, and that with and through it I have had many wonderful encounters, many spiritual experiences. For me as a personal trainer, not only cacao helps me in meditation and keeping my focus, but it also gives me tons of energy. Cacao is for both body and soul. It connects, it creates a community, a circle of wonderful people. If you are looking for something to calm the mind and listen to the heart, start with cacao, it will take you where you need to go.

    I thought I'd be drinking coffee forever... :))) But I didn't; after discovering cacao, the taste of coffee disappeared by itself. I look forward to it every morning because I know how much I'll love drinking cacao 😋 And I love it with milk, a little salt and cayenne pepper. When I can’t wait for the morning to come, I enjoy it in the evenings 🫶 I really appreciate it and I'm very happy about this discovery😍 My cacao is from Nicaragua 🤎

    For me, cacao is a ritual of total relaxation. It doesn't even energize me most of the time, in fact, when I drink cacao, I go for a nap! And it doesn't matter where I am. 😃

    During the darkest period of my life, when I was diagnosed with cancer, I received cacao as a gift from a friend. And from the very first sip, I knew that I had been given a boost of energy to get me through this difficult road to recovery. And it also gave me smoothness for the palette, a soothing aroma for the soul and a light for the heart. So much qualities in one cup of cacao that it sometimes seemed alive and filled me up with the light and warmth of the sun. So that I can grow stronger and heal. So that I can calm down and trust that everything will be okay. Often, it is in the darkest times that the brightest things come into life. 🙏☀️🤎

    When I am asked why I drink cacao, what makes it so special, I am overwhelmed with feelings. Because the cacao I drink is not just a drink, it's a ritual, it's a natural medicine that heals the heart, that fills the senses and that is very healthy for my body. That is why I choose only quality cacao, from a person who lives here, for whom cacao is also more than a drink. I am happy to have discovered “Kakavos Romanas” and not only do I find their cacao very tasty, but I am reassured by the quality of the product, because for people working there cacao is not a job, but a passion, and I know how much effort is put into finding farms where organic cacao is grown and produced without any chemicals, just as a natural bean it is. "I drink “Kakavos Romanas” cacao as a healthy supplement for my body, which fills it with essential micronutrients, gives me a lot of energy and, in general, I can no longer imagine a day without this wonderful ritual. I am grateful to Evelina, the founder of “Kakavos Romanas” for her commitment to quality, for selling not just cacao, but also the emotion, passion and love for this wonderful plant. If you have not yet tasted the it, I really recommend it. Email Evelina and she will tell you how to prepare cacao correctly so that you can experience the true flavour ❤️

    Ceremonial cacao is not an everyday substitute for coffee or any other beverage for me, it's like a grandmother’s collection of cups for a special occasion 🙂 And it's not out of frugality 🙂 I enjoy the anticipation of that sensual ritual. ✨

    Aš esu Simona Mockutė, kakava į mano gyvenimą pasibeldė vaikystėje, kaip ir pas visus, bet tikra rūšinė, ceremoninė, tik pradėjusi eiti giliau į sąmoningumą. Kakavos romano skonis mane sužavėjo iš karto stovykloje, buvo 2021-ųjų vasara. Atvėrė širdį taip stipriai, kad negaliu žodžiais apsakyti, o Evelinos rūpestis bei švelnumas tiesiog užbūrė. Dabar kakava yra neatskiriama mano gyvenimo dalis - ji lydi mane namuose, moterų susitikimuose, vaišinu svečius ir atlieku magiškus ritualus. Mėgstu visus skirtingus skonio atspalvius, tačiau labiausiai mėgaujuosi Balio kakava, tyloje ir ramybėje.

    Menas, grožis, ritualai ir nauji potyriai, tai neatsiejama mano gyvenimo dalis. Atsisakius savo ryto kavos puodelio, galvojau nebeatrasiu, kas galėtų šią ryto rutiną pakeisti. Ir tada pirmą kartą paragavau kakavos, mane labai nustebino tas stebuklingas pojūtis ir skonis. Nuo to momento man atsivėrė naujas pasaulis, nuo įvairių skonių iki įvairių receptų, ir dabar kakava yra neatsiejama mano kasdienio gyvenimo malonumo ir laiko sau dalis. Net negalvojau, kan gali būti taip skanu ir tuo pačiu toks organizmui teigiamas poveikis.
