Chocolate Tea

Chocolate was once considered a pleasure food but now science has uncovered evidence that it may also be a heart-healthy food, too. Cocoa contains flavonoids called procyanidins & epicatechins. Flavonoids are part of a group of antioxidants known as polyphenols and are found in a variety of foods including tea, red wine, and various fruits and vegetables. However, research shows that chocolate and cocoa rank the highest above all antioxidant foods. The highest levels of antioxidants are found in pure cocoa powder, which is the lowest in fat and calories. The next best is dark chocolate containing 60-70% cocoa. Mary B Engler PhD, a researcher at the Department of Physiological Nursing, Laboratory of Cardiovascular Physiology, University of California, San Francisco, states that cardiovascular risk is associated with oxidative stress due to excess free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, dietary flavonoids and their potential role in the fight against cardiovascular disease have gained recent scientific and medical interest due to their antioxidant properties. Increasing evidence from experimental and clinical studies using cocoa-derived products and chocolate suggest an important role for these high-flavanol-containing foods, especially in vasodilation, healthy blood pressure support and overall health. Chocolate plays a potential role in: 1.Helping to support cardiovascular health. 2.Helping to support healthy blood pressure and insulin levels. 3.Helping to support healthy arterial blood flow. 4.Helping people with chronic fatigue syndrome 5.Helping to support healthy cholesterol levels. Chocolate may also play a role in supporting healthy brain function. People who are often depressed find that Chocolate sometimes benefits their mood by possibly interacting with the natural serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain. Combine these health benefits with tea also known for its antioxidant value especially catechins called epigallocatechin-3-gallate. EGCG is a powerful antioxidant with DNA repairing properties and is thought to play a vital role in supporting the body’s immune system’s natural ability to protect itself against the risk of free radical driven health issues. Numerous studies have pointed to free radicals as a potential factor in heart disease, allergies, arthritis and cancer. Now combine the potency of chocolate and tea with resveratrol. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin (anti-fungal and anti-batcterial chemical) produced naturally by grapes and other plants in response to fungal infection. Resveratarol is found abundantly in the skin of red grapes and studies have strongly suggested that the properties in Resveratrol may support the body in the fight against numerous health issues. Current guidelines for the American people advise a diet rich in fruits and vegetables which will include a variety of flavonoids from different natural sources. The combination of chocolate, tea and resveratrol results in a highly potent health drink. Every cup of CocoPure Chocolate Tea yields 4000 mg of concentrated cocoa with elevated levels of flavonoids that offer a powerhouse of antioxidants to help the body protect itself from free radical damage. CocoPure is different because it does not contain any of the artificial fillers. CocoPure gives you the required resveratrol to give cardio-benefits. It is also fortified with green tea extracts and soluble fibers to help you receive all-round protective health.
