Good news for everyone studying for upcoming midterm exams: chocolate might be good for your memory. The flavanols in chocolate are supposedly good for your heart, and now scientists claim those same flavanols increase blood flow to the brain, especially in the areas of the brain that control alertness. Mice given a drink rich in flavanols had better memories than those who didn’t ingest the drink. This study was backed by the Mars Candy company, so maybe this news should be taken with a grain of salt.
Still, it could be food for thought the next time you require sustenance for all-night cram sessions. Need a better excuse for that candy bar? How about: “it will help me study”?
I just wanted to tell you about an incredible line of hand-made chocolate truffles that you may consider reviewing. They are made by hand in Mexico and shipped by next day. The website is http://www.sensualchocolatiers.com . Let us know what you think!
