Chocolate helps mind clear

Add a good news for those addicted to chocolate! British researchers at the University of Nottingham have noted that cocoa-rich drinks rich in flavanol, one of the main antioxidants present in chocolate, facilitates the circulation of blood to nourish some host areas. latch of the brain.

Dr Ian Mcdonald led the study, explaining that cocoa can stimulate the brain as soon as it is consumed.

To prove this, researchers have invited many volunteers to use a special drink rich in flavanol - unprecedented on the market. They then used nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure blood flow in the brains of study participants. They noted that many areas of these brain areas were more nourished by the expansion of blood vessels.

Dr. McDonald explained at a conference of the American Association of Science (AAAS), San Francisco that, when fully nourished, the brain is given more oxygen and stimulated by the action of flavanol, which helps improve ability to concentrate and think more clearly.
