Chocolates good for brain?






CHOCOLATES...mainly made from cocoa is indeed good for ones brain and bring various benefits to ones healthy yet happy life style. Don't worry too much of the fat contain in chocolates..Why don't you cut down on your french fries or fried chicken? Eat up chocolate moderately as it also enhances good mood!


Several recent studies suggest that some types of cocoa contain substances that could enhance blood flow in the brain and improve brain function. Although it is a little distressing that the conference at which this breakthrough was discussed was sponsored by Mars Incorporated, the candy maker, it did point to compounds known as Flavanois as to their ability to keep the brain healthy and prevent cognitive decline and dementia.


Scientist in England believe that drinks containing this compound could be used to treat vascular impairments in the brain. After consumption of the liquid, it was noted that there was increased blood flow to the gray matter, which is part of the brain stucture, for two to three hours.
