Dark chocolate from the cocoa seeds has nutritive benefits for sports lovers. Whichever the sport, whether aerobic or anaerobic, damage of cells is inevitable. The antioxidant in the snack comes in handy for the fast repair of worn-out cells or tissues.

What other benefits does chocolate have on sports lovers?

Nutritive value

 

Fine chocolate goes through minimal chemical processing to maintain the level of flavonoids or rather to prevent its destruction. As much as people think that it has a high level of caffeine, on the contrary, it contains a high percentage of good cholesterol – almost 40 percent-which promotes good heart health.

The chemical in this beverage has essential minerals like copper, zinc, and functional protein, with specific nutritive value ideal for sportsmen and women—for example, copper aids in developing nerve cells that improve the immune system.

Zinc develops your sense of taste and cell growth, making you feel healthy to face the upcoming sporting activities. As you watch your favorite sport, bite your fine chocolate bar and get all the nutrients that come with cocoa seeds.

Reduces blood pressure and general blood flow in the blood vessels

 

Cocoa seeds stimulate the production of the lining of the arteries- endothelium-that further produces nitric oxide. The primary function of nitric oxide is relaxing the blood vessels to enhance blood flow, hence reducing the athletes’ blood pressure.

Once the arteries relax, they widen, allowing more blood to flow at the right speed. If not, they narrow, making blood flow at a high rate- high blood pressure.

Relaxes the body and mind

 

What do you do after a hard day’s work hitting the tennis ball? Take your favorite brand of fine chocolate and wait for the results. Do you know fine chocolate stimulates the feel-good hormones? It is the reason why chocolate forms part of a gift to give a love impression.

Even when you have a monotonous ping pong game playing alone with the tennis robot, you can still find joy as if you have a human opponent. If you love ping pong and lack a partner, then use technology to your advantage.

Even if the robot wins, you won’t feel discouraged; instead, you become motivated to do better.

Enhances brain functions

Once there is proper blood flow in the arteries. Naturally, there is adequate brain functioning since there is no deprivation of any component in the brain. A research study proved that older people who take cocoa before going to bed have good memory compared to their fellows who don’t. Cocoa is stimulant w

Fine chocolate is a must in any sportsman’s bag. Who wants to flop at the pitch when there is a simple option to stimulate the brain functions? Research to still prove the study says most of the mental hospitals use chocolate as part of their diet to handle the mild cases of mental impairment.

Improves cardiovascular health

 

The heart is the central part of the body responsible for the pumping of blood. Once the arteries are clogged, the rate of blood flow is reduced, leading to high blood pressure. It means there is a strain in the heart- it pumps faster than usual.

Fine chocolate, as discussed above, stimulates the production of hormones that widens the arteries. With the physical exercises associated with sports, there is minimal risk of this group getting heart-related illnesses.

Cases of people with poor heart health are advised to engage in games. While in it, dark chocolate comes in handy to sort your problem once and for all.

With all the praises about fine chocolate; what makes the difference with the commercial one?

• Sugar content

Generally, people know chocolate for its sweetness. A bar of sweet chocolate is a commercial one, while fine chocolate has a mild bitter taste. The amount of sugar added to it is minimal. It’s the sole reason why it improves the blood flow to major body organs.

• Genetic composition

Fine chocolate is meant for medicinal use; hence the cocoa pods are naturally grown. Commercial chocolate goes through a genetic process is hasten its growth affecting its genetic and nutritive composition. The reason for this is to meet the high market demand.

• Addition of flavors and chemicals

Since commercial chocolate is for mass consumption, there are flavors to get the different tastes you have in the supermarket shelves. During processing, there is also the addition of chemicals in high quantity to act as preservatives. It’s something you can’t get in fine chocolate.

Next time you go to the shelves, insist on fine or dark chocolate to enjoy the benefits. Dark is not all about color but the composition.

A sports lover who doesn’t take a keen interest in this may not benefit from the said benefits. In case his goal is to manage weight among other health challenges, then; the results are bound to fail.
