There's an ingredient you can add to your morning coffee to boost alertness. Experts say this combination is surprisingly effective.
Nutritionist Kanikka Malhotra, a diabetes educator working in India, says: Adding unsweetened cocoa powder to coffee can help boost alertness, especially for those managing their diabetes. For people with diabetes, unsweetened cocoa powder is a great option because it contains no added sugar.

In fact, the flavanols in cocoa can help the body use insulin better, which is crucial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels, expert Malhotra explained, according to the Indian Express.
Coffee and cocoa both have a positive impact on metabolism.
Dr. Narander Singla, from Birla Hospital (India), stated: Both coffee and cocoa are rich in compounds that positively impact metabolism, cognition, and mood.
Cocoa powder contains polyphenols that boost metabolism and support weight management, while the caffeine in coffee further accelerates the metabolic rate and promotes fat burning.

Cocoa is rich in flavanols, which have antioxidant properties, support brain function, and improve mood. When you mix cocoa with coffee, you get double the benefits, according to expert Malhotra.
Simply stir one teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder into your cup of coffee. It's best to choose natural cocoa, which contains more beneficial flavonoids. And remember, don't add sugar, sweetened condensed milk, or heavy cream – try some unsweetened milk or a sugar-free alternative. This is a simple way to make your morning coffee healthier, says expert Malhotra, according to the Indian Express.
