“#Drinking hot chocolate makes you smarter, study shows<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n We\u2019ll drink to this:\u00a0Hot chocolate makes you a smarter and faster thinker, according to new research.<\/p>\n

In a study of 18 men, researchers at the University of Birmingham<\/a> found that drinking cocoa improved participants\u2019 ability to quickly solve a series<\/a> of complex mental tests.<\/p>\n

The team chalked up the heightened sharpness \u00a0\u2014 including that subjects finished tests up to 11 percent faster \u2014 to the brain-boosting compound flavanol, which is found naturally in chocolate, according to the study, published Tuesday in the journal Scientific Reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe used cocoa in our experiment, but flavanols are extremely common in a wide range of fruit and vegetables,\u201d said the report\u2019s lead author, Catarina Rendeiro. \u201cIt also further suggests that flavanols might be particularly beneficial during cognitively demanding tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the study, the researchers tracked how participants, who were all healthy and ages 18 to 40, reacted to brain-teasing tests before and after sipping the sweet brew.<\/p>\n

The team found that after drinking hot chocolate, participants\u2019 blood oxygenation levels increased up to threefold, and that their test times and accuracy rates improved.<\/p>\n

They also discovered that every participant\u2019s performance improved when researchers added extra flavanol into normal hot chocolate, according to the study, which notes brain power is linked to oxygen levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can link this with our results on improved blood oxygenation \u2014 if you\u2019re being challenged more, your brain needs improved blood oxygen levels to manage that challenge,\u201d Rendeiro said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy better understanding the cognitive benefits of eating these food groups\u2026 we can offer improved guidance to people about how to make the most of their dietary choices.\u201d<\/i>\n <\/div>\n
