Dark Chocolate and Berries May Improve Memory
Struggling with memory and stress issues? Consuming dark chocolate or berries may help boost memory levels and reduce stress, according to an animal study.
The study, conducted by the Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan, found that flavanols, abundant in cocoa and berries, can improve memory and cognition.
Stress responses elicited by flavanols in this study are similar to those elicited by physical exercise.
- Flavanols trigger physiological responses similar to those induced by exercise.
- They activate the central nervous system, enhancing attention, arousal, and memory.
- Flavanols also protect against neuronal damage.
Author's summary: Dark chocolate and berries may improve memory and reduce stress due to flavanols.
