Cacao Bean (theobroma)
Chances are, you’ve heard that dark chocolate is a healthier choice than is milk chocolate. And you may have also heard that dark chocolate can offer several health benefits. While that is true, it only applies to a particular kind of dark chocolate—raw chocolate, or cacao. A large portion of the dark chocolate you can buy is so processed that it loses a great amount of its nutrients and antioxidants. However, cacao beans health benefits remain intact. Raw cacao beans are truly to be considered a superfood. The flavanols, theobromine and other agents cacao contains promote dilation, strength and health of blood vessels. As such, cacao beans health benefits include the ability to lower blood pressure. Cacao contains alkaloids, proteins, beta-carotene, leucine, linoleic, lipase and lysine, all of which contribute to the improvement of physical and mental health. They are also good sources of potassium as well as magnesium, zinc, manganese and copper. This leads to a boost in energy as well an overall feeling of contentment.
Goji Berry (barbarum)
Goji berry may have an incredibly rejuvenating effect on the body and can stimulate the metabolism, giving you a burst of energy, thanks to the many critical minerals and vitamins it may contain. The active ingredients are known to have an effect on hormones in the body, which may help balance your mood and prevent anxiety, as well as acting as a natural antidepressant. The flavonoids and phytonutrients released when these berries are brewed in tea may help the body in countless ways, from preventing cellular mutation and cancer to lowering levels of chronic inflammation and improving the appearance of the skin. With high levels of vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin E, goji berries may be an excellent immune booster, as they may help stimulate the production of white blood cells and boost the immune system.

Looking at Japanese history as early as the 9th century, you can observe that the Japanese used to grow and consume morning glory plants in bulk. Coming back to this century, this plant is still widely used in Asian countries. Morning glory helps in improving your throat’s health. It relieves cough by getting rid of excessive mucous.

There are many reported benefits of elderberries. Not only are they nutritious, but they may also help address cold and flu symptoms, support heart health, and fight inflammation and infections, among other benefits.
