Theobromine is a natural compound related to caffeine, and you'll find it in yerba mate and in cacao. In a randomized controlled trial, overweight and obese adults took theobromine for 12 weeks. By the end, their waists got smaller, which matters because belly fat is one of the key markers of metabolic syndrome. Their HDL, the good cholesterol, went up, and the ratio of LDL to HDL came down. That's a pretty big deal for your heart. If you like a warm cup of tea, plain yerba mate with no sugar is an easy one to try, and it fits right in with real food and low carb eating. Have you ever tried yerba mate? I'd love to hear what you thought of it. Let's get healthy together.
