Here's another reason or excuse to love chocolates more. Scientist found out that a chemical substance named flavanols which is one of the ingredients of cocoa increase the blood flow to the brain and maybe useful for treating some vascular impairments in the near future. Clinical trials also shown that flavanols have also benefits for the heart. Now chocolate, according to this is good both to our heart and brain.

I have heard about these studies. I find them very interesting. I hope that more studies come out in this area. More poeple need to know about these studies also. I am going to eat more chocolate than I usually do. Hopefully that will improve my brain function.
