Who doesn’t love a nice warm cup of hot cocoa on cold winter day. Not only is it tasty, it also can make you smarter.
A new study found that sipping on cocoa can help improve your brain power. It will help you think faster and sharper. That’s all thanks tto the compounds called flavanols.
Researchers from the University of Birmingham split participants into two groups – one got a hot chocolate drink high in flavanols and the other got a placebo drink without flavanols. And the group who drank the flavanols before the brain tests finished up to 11% faster. These experiments used cocoa, but flavanols are really common and are found in tea and red wine and fruits and vegetables including berries, apples, and kale.
