Chocolate lovers rejoice, because the results of recent studies indicate enjoy milk chocolate bars will improve brain function.
"Chocolate contains many elements that are to be stimulants such as theobromine, phenethylamine, and Kaffeine," says Bryan Raudenbush from Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia, told reporters on Friday.
These compounds have previously been found to be increasing the level of awareness and ability to concentrate. The results showed, by eating chocolate can get the stimulating effects that would lead to increased mental performance.
Raudenbush and his colleagues said the effects of the brain's ability to do research on a number of volunteers who ate chocolate in some species. The study is in four separate incidents that the first group consumed 85 grams of milk chocolate bar, 85 grams of dark chocolate, 85 grams of carob, and the fourth group did not eat anything.
After 15 minutes later the volunteers in this study underwent several neuropsychological tests designed to see cognitive performance. Including memory, concentration, reaction time and problem solving skills.
"Value for verbal and visual memory for those who get the highest group ate milk chocolate bar than the other three groups," says Raudenbush.
Enhancement of both verbal and visual memory also occurred in the group taking other types of chocolate, but the results were under the first group.
From previous research has been known for some of the nutrients in foods release glucose that adds extra blood flow that could have implications for cognitive abilities.
Recent findings support the previous opinion even clear that eating chocolate may improve brain power.
