Cocoa and dark chocolate

The Trinidad & Tobago Fine Cocoa Company is one of the region's oldest producers of high-quality cocoa goods with a lengthy history in the region. Antioxidants called flavanols, which are included in cocoa products, have anti-inflammatory qualities that may safeguard the integrity of blood vessels, so lowering your risk of heart disease and stroke. They could also enhance recuperation and workout performance. Additionally, by boosting the generation of nitric oxide, flavanol-rich cocoa and dark chocolate protect blood vessels from oxidative stress, which develops with aging and in smokers.

A substance called nitric oxide may lessen inflammation and maintain normal blood flow. Dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content provides more flavanols and antioxidant benefits overall, albeit it may be a little less tasty due to the bitterness that comes with increased cocoa content. Snack on dark chocolate bits or unwind at night with a warm cup of cocoa tea.
