Can Chocolate Improve Your Brain? – Ajit Patel Sanda Wellness
A study published in the journal, Appetite, has found that frequent chocolate consumption is significantly associated with better performance on cognitive tests such as visual-spatial memory and organisation, working memory, scanning and tracking, abstract reasoning, and the mini-mental state examination. It’s thought that cocoa flavanols are responsible for the effect. High levels o flavanols are also found in tea, red wine and certain fruits such as grapes and apples – but the latest research is another reason to enjoy good quality, dark chocolate at its best. It’s made from cocoa beans so it counts as a vegetable, right?
