Bank of Ghana donates GHC 10 million to support fight against COVID-19

Speaking to TV3, Mr Amporful indicated that cocoa contains polyphenols, micro-nutrients packed with antioxidants known to boost digestion and brain health, as well as protect against heart disease, diabetes, and even certain cancers.

He indicated that Ghana’s rich cocoa has what it takes to boost the immune system and help the body to fight the virus.

Given the nature of the virus itself, it is not the virus that is causing the lung damage, it is the immune system that it immobilizes,” he explained.

“…but cocoa is a product that boost; does not only boost the immune system,  but it also modulates it, it means that it doesn’t make it over work the way it should work and this controls damage caused,” he said.

Mr Amporful said several publications have attested to the efficacy of cocoa in boosting the immune system.

He urged Ghanaians to consider their health and not to allow the bitter taste of raw cocoa to discourage them from consuming the product.

He mentioned  Royale Natural Cocoa Powder from the Cocoa Processing Company (CPC) as cocoa product that can boost the immune system and help fight diseases.

he pharmacist said increase in intake of polyphenols rich cocoa is a sure way of fighting viruses.

“Ghana produces the best quality cocoa in the world. It means that for whatever you find in cocoa being polyphenols, you will find more in Ghana’s cocoa, and whatever quality that will enhance the health benefits of cocoa you find more in the Ghana cocoa.

“So Ghanaians should consume more cocoa, it should be a staple on their table everyday,” he advised.

Managing Director of CPC, Nana Agyenim Boateng,  said the key to fighting the virus is to have a strong immune system.

He said cocoa as an immune booster is factually proven and wished that Ghanaians will continue to consume Cocoa Royale to keep themselves healthy.
