IS THERE ANYTHING IT CAN’T DO? Eating chocolate regularly ‘improves brain function’ according to new study.

Researchers found that regularly eating chocolate was significantly associated with cognitive function “irrespective of other dietary habits”.

More frequent chocolate consumption was “significantly associated with better performance on [cognitive tests including] visual-spatial memory and organisation, working memory, scanning and tracking, abstract reasoning, and the mini-mental state examination”.

Cocoa flavanols, a subgroup of flavonoids, which are found in chocolate, are associated with the positive cognitive function.

If I’m reading this correctly, you don’t even have to give anything up — just adding chocolate to your diet might make you smarter.

So why take a chance by denying yourself a brain-enhancing treat?
