Cocoa is the main ingredient in chocolate. It contains a compound called theobromine which, along with its natural caffeine content, is a thermogenic agent it heats up the body to burn fat and suppress appetite. Cocoa seed may also boost energy and improve mood by interacting with neurotransmitters that create feelings of happiness and well being. Because cocoa is a vasodilator it expands blood vessels, research has linked it to improved circulation and heart health. It also contains amino acids and antioxidants the body needs to fight off disease and signs of aging.
