Yes and no, I love milk chocolate only, not dark…so dont think milk counts….if only….On a serious note Debbi, I have heard of this before and know quality dark chocolate has its benefits and uses…
Your brain, like all the other parts of your body, requires oxygen and nutrients to survive and thrive. Dark chocolate helps to increase circulation and produce more red blood cells, which will help your body to send more oxygen and nutrients to your brain. The result: better brain function!
It can enhance cognitive function –One study found that dark chocolate helped to improve cognitive function among the elderly, even those with cognitive impairment. The flavonols in cocoa helped their brains to function more efficiently.
It gives your brain a boost –Chocolate contains small quantities caffeine and theobromine, two substances that help to reduce fatigue and enhance brain function. In one study, researchers discovered that dark chocolate in small doses gave the brain a boost far more effectively than white chocolate.
