It makes sense to show off! Eating chocolate rejuvenates the brain
Many people know that eating chocolate can make people happy, because the main ingredient in chocolate, cocoa beans, contains theobromine, which can suppress depression and induce excitement, and "phenylethylamine", a substance that can regulate mood. However, it turns out that eating chocolate can also make people happy. The brain is young.
The Japanese Cabinet Office's innovative research and development project ImPACT Yamakawa Project Team and Meiji Corporation published research results on the 18th of this month, which found that eating more chocolate and ingesting cocoa, the main substance in it, is beneficial to brain health.
Studies have shown that continuous intake of chocolate with high cocoa content will increase the mass of the cerebral cortex and help improve learning functions. The study conducted an experiment on 30 men and women. 60% of the subjects ate chocolate with high cocoa content for a month and found that their brains were rejuvenated by about 1-2 years.
However, be careful because chocolate generally contains higher sugar and fat content, so you should not eat too much. For long-term consumption, it is better to choose black chocolate, which has high cocoa content and low sugar content.
