The effects on the digestive system
The fiber has three components Coca-known: cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. It contains a considerable amount of cellulose fiber, significantly higher than that of wheat bran, this cellulose, accelerates intestinal transit and stool form. Its fiber hemicellulose strengthens the intestinal flora producing more volatile fatty acids. Their number is slightly higher than wheat bran and considerably higher than that of vegetables such as spinach, cabbage and lettuce. The third compound, lignin, is an antioxidant that prevents the release of free radicals and has a greater ability to absorb fat. Allows binding of iron with zinc. Its content is greater than that of wheat bran, artichokes, spinach, lettuce and chard. The consumption of fiber helps to increase good cholesterol.

Coco leaves are energetic and exciting: The energy supply comes from two sources: its 300 calories whose main source are complex carbohydrates (63 grams) and its dietary fiber (18%) by direct action and prebiotic in the colon, this energy is accompanied of increased cellular oxygenation which suggests better overcome the lack of oxygen (altitude sickness) and increase our capacity and endurance. This energy potential is enhanced by neuronal also be a stimulant that improves mood for physical and intellectual work. It is low in fat (3.5%). It contains alkaloids, they are interrelated and complement each other, behaving to say nutritionist Maritza Vera Penachio as a board of physicians join forces to overcome the multiple organ dysfunction, while developing synergy with other nutrients and foodconsumed, allowing the best use.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE OF COCA LEAVES I recommend eating a teaspoon a day, but under specialist supervision, it can be consumed in bigger quantities. From experience, we would say that each person must find their proper amount. We found enough people who think a half teaspoon a day and others do well with six a day (separated by half in the morning and the other finishing lunch).
In order to help the body adjust to this powerful food, it is recommended to start with a quarter teaspoon every other day and increasing to a full teaspoon by the fourth week. From then on, that amount can be taken every day, or adapted to your consumption needs.
By consuming Coca, we have to increase our fluid intake, fruits and vegetables to balance the blood pH which generates acid consumption and make better the quality of their fiber.
You can also incorporate a pinch of flour or lime llipta by 0.2% or about 1% of the total weight for both regulating blood pH to enhance the assimilation of its alkaloids. This too will happen if we consume the flour in hot water.
Do not forget that this meal is highly digestible and highly concentrated in fiber and alkaloids, so it is very strong and we should only consume it as a nutritional supplement, we should not abuse its kindness.
Coca flour is compatible with all foods. As a precaution, it is preferable to avoid mixing with stimulants such as caffeine. It can be added to juices, yogurt, soups, stews, sauces, etc.. And preparations are used as nutritional enriching mass to 5%.
People who require a higher dose of energy support, it is recommended to put the spoon flour directly into one side of the mouth to be consumed slowly improving and achieving insalivación also a direct and continuous assimilation under the tongue. To avoid unnecessary backflow, start with a quarter of a teaspoon. You can add up to 5% llipta, lime or sodium bicarbonate to the flour if most activity is going to be physical.
We have not found the time limit, provided they are consumed with caution as stated above. Some people feel better advantage by consuming the leaves (chacchar or infusion) and other meal, everyone chooses although their effects are complementary.
