After making chocolate from cocoa beans we get its shell as a byproduct. Even as a byproduct it should not be seen as waste because it can still be used to make cacao tea. This beverage serves many worldwide homes and mostly in Africa. Users of this tea really beget a lot of health benefits.

Vitamins and minerals; there are many minerals and vitamins in it. Our bodies need vitamins C and E which cocoa has in plenty. The husk has many minerals essential for our body functions such as potassium, magnesium, copper and iron. Iron is need in the body for making blood cells and calcium is needed for healthy and strong bone formation and structure.

Heart health; minerals found in the cocoa help in keeping your heart health. Magnesium will keep blood flowing due to increase in heart functions from it. To survive our body needs oxygen, copper increases chances of blood cells receive oxygen which is thereafter circulated around by blood. Vitamin E in it will keep your heart health reducing chances of heart disease.

Feeling good; there are compounds in the cacao that boosts up and balance the levels of Serotonin leaving with you contentment and pure happiness the whole day. Serotonin is responsible for this. This has become a key consideration of cocoa being aphrodisiac from both men and women although it is yet to be scientifically proven.

Brain function; an increase in brain activity is always beneficial to us in keeping us alert and lively. Cacao has the capability of increasing brain activity without any side effects such as headaches. It has the same effects with caffeine but it is better that caffeine which sometimes is credited for heart problems. Drinking it makes more health sense.

Fighting diabetes; talk of diabetes and its effects on those affected or effected by it and you will know the suffering it is causing people all over the world, young and old, poor and rich. It just doesn't have any boundaries on who to attack. With it come restrictions on the foods you should eat and those you shouldn't. Cacao drink increases cell function and does not increase sugar levels when it is unsweetened making it one of the drinks that you can drink.

Antioxidants; cacao comes loaded with antioxidants compounds equivalent to those found in fruits, grains and vegetables. The use of antioxidants in our bodies is slowing down the aging process which most people don't like to be associated with. Cacao gives you higher antioxidants than that in green tea or in red wine. This tea will give you almost same amount of antioxidants to those in blueberries.

Some other health benefits on this drink are yet to be found out and are many. A byproduct which was thrown away in the past is now being used to better our health. It is recommended to have cocoa tea always in your kitchen for a happy life and good health.
