How cocoa promotes weight loss?
first mechanism
Hampers the work of key enzymes that decompose carbohydrates and fat while reducing their absorption into the bloodstream and increases their removal. This is reflected in the weight loss, but also showed a favorable effect in diabetes mellitus and other metabolic diseases.
Cocoa polyphenols have shown activity in animal studies, but for example, mice fed with fat lost weight if they were in the diet added with cocoa extract.
second mechanism
Cocoa polyphenols may affect the metabolism of leptin (satiety hormone) in patients with visceral obesity, through the influence of some biological markers, that have been shown to hinder the activity of inflammatory substances known as interleukins (IL-1α and IL-1β), which when in too large the quantity leads to abdominal fat (visceral fat, the fat around the body).
third mechanism
Cocoa contains substances that increase serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, a substance that transmits nerve impulses (information) between neurons, that regulates especially the part of the brain where there are elements that regulate the function of sleep and mood. It is known among other things that serotonin effectively reduces hunger, and when there is more serotonin we will be more happier, less hungry and the mood will be improved to the extent because it tranquilizers our mood and anxiety there we will not need sweets or fatty foods.
Especially cocoa contains substances showing antidepressant effects helps people to stay on track to weight loss.
Cocoa extract reduces irritation and soothe discomfort, while at the same time increases the energy level.
4th? mechanism - insulin sensitivity
Cocoa polyphenols improves insulin sensitivity and how important it is to lose weight shown recent studies that firmly point the relationship with obesity and a condition known as insulin resistance syndrome.
New knowledge of epicatechin show that it significantly increase the amount of nitrogen oxide (NO) in the blood, leading to relaxation and dilation of blood vessels and better blood circulation, which in turn leads to increased blood flow through skeletal muscle and consequently better utilization of glucose.
Increasing the amount of NO and increased blood flow to the muscle results in even better utilization of 40% glucose, compared to insulin stimulation.
Increasing the susceptibility of the cell organelles to accept insulin, cocoa polyphenols are a great support for healthy weight loss.
This effect of epicatechin and cocoa contributes to better regulation of high blood pressure and better sexual function in men.
