One of the best coffee alternatives in the world
00:01
is probably sitting in your kitchen cabinet
00:03
and it's delicious.
00:04
This is cocoa powder, also known as cacao.
00:06
Let's go make some.
00:07
Sure, it's delicious in baking,
00:08
but there's a reason why 2,500 years ago,
00:11
both the Maya and the Aztec traded it as currency
00:14
and also drank it before going into battle.
00:16
While coffee beans are famous for their energizing effect
00:19
due to the stimulant caffeine,
00:21
cacao beans contain a completely different stimulant
00:23
called theobromine.
00:24
Theobromine is in the same family as caffeine,
00:26
but it's different because it offers a much more mild,
00:29
longer-lasting energy with no crash.
00:31
While caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant,
00:33
cacao is not, making it much better
00:35
for slowly increasing energy, alertness,
00:38
and most importantly, focus.
00:40
If caffeine is the sprinter,
00:41
then theobromine is the distance runner.
00:43
It's also called a vasodilator,
00:46
which means it widens your blood vessels,
00:48
helping your heart, your breathing,
00:50
blood pressure, and overall cardiovascular health,
00:53
making it a delicious alternative to consider.
