Eating chocolate makes you smarter
This is good news for chocolate believers.
A study published recently in Appetite magazine measured the cognitive function (cognitive function), the amount of chocolate a consumer consumes, and the risk of cardiovascular disease of 968 people between the ages of 23 and 98.
The higher the cocoa content in chocolate, the more benefits will be gained.
As a result, eating chocolate regularly has an extremely positive effect on cognitive function.
This result is due to the flavonoids compound in cocoa beans. Therefore, the higher the cocoa content in chocolate, the more benefits it will get. Dark chocolate has the highest content of flavonoids, while this compound in milk chocolate and white chocolate is much less.
The study also showed that a positive link between flavonoids and cognitive function may help fight diseases associated with impaired age-related brain function, such as dementia.
It is worth noting that this study is partly supported by the US National Blood, Lung and Heart Institute.
