Can a delicous cocoa beverage be good for you as well? Recent studies seem to suggest that cocoa-containing foods may help support cardiovascular health. The Zutphen Elderly Study monitored the health of 470 elderly men over a 15 year period. Two thirds of the men ingested 2.11 grams of cocoa a day. The study concluded that cocoa may help support cardiovascular health. Another study performed by a professor from Harvard Medical School and Women's Hospital in Boston suggests that epicatechin-rich cocoa may offer a variety of health-protective benefits. The findings of a German study sponsored by Mars Inc. was published in The Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology. The study explained that male smokers who participated in the study and recieved the highest amount of flavanols from a cocoa drink (918 mg) experienced blood vessel function equal to those with no cardiovascular risk.
The RainForest Berry Blend in ChocoBerry not only adds a hint of juicy berry flavor to your cocoa but also provides you with heart healthy resveratrol and anthocyanins. Resveratrol is a natural compound found in the skin of red grapes. Studies suggest that resveratrol may help support cholesterol levels within healthy range as well as the lining of blood vessels. The Acai in the berry blend is rich in anthocyanins, one of nature's most potent antioxidants.
Each serving provides you with a naturally occuring ORAC value of 1500. ORAC stands for Oxegen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is a standard of measurement jointly developed by the National Institute on Aging and the USDA Human Nutritional Research on Aging. In simple terms, ORAC measures how well a food or drink renders dangerous free radicals inactive. Since free radicals can damage healthy cells, a healthy amount of ORAC can help protect your health.
