Cocoa Boosts Athletic Performance
The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition suggests that a little dark chocolate could increase oxygen availability during physical training.
Cyclists undergoing time trials in the UK were studied and it was found that “after eating dark chocolate, they used less oxygen when pedaling at a moderate pace and also covered more distance in a two-minute time trial.”
How to consume it?
A daily intake of 20 to 30 grams of 100% unsweetened cocoa powder is recommended.
1) First, you'll prepare the base of the bowl. To do this, start by washing the blueberries and chopping the pineapple. In a blender, combine the yogurt, a handful of blueberries, and the pineapple. Once blended, pour the mixture into the bowl.
2) On top of that mixture, spread 30 grams of cocoa and the granola.
3) Finally, wash the strawberries and slice them as you like. Slice the banana as well. Sprinkle the shredded coconut, strawberries, and banana over the granola, and you're done.
Cocoa protects your brain and heart.
