New York, NY (AHN) - You've heard the mantra milk does a body good. Now
there's good news for chocolate lovers - it seems milk chocolate does a brain
good.
Researchers at Wheeling Jesuit University say it's because chocolate contains
stimulants like caffeine, which are known to help keep your mind alert.
Both milk and dark chocolate eaters in the study showed better reaction
times, and impulse control. Previous research has shown that some nutrients in
food aid in glucose release and increased blood flow, which may augment
cognitive performance.
