 Chocolate
is not only delicious but it is also good for your health. Many studies
show that eating chocolate makes your heart stronger and can even
prevent cancer! Here’s another
piece of good news for chocolate lovers: chocolate can also help improve your math skills!
According to British researchers, chocolate can
help you do better at math. Scientists
at the University of Northumbria found in their study that students who drank
hot chocolate before taking a math test performed better than the
students who didn’t drink it.
“We found that chocolate can be beneficial for mentally challenging tasks,” said Professor David
Kennedy who led the study. “Chocolate increases the flow of blood to the brain,
thus activating the brain
to work better. So students who eat chocolate before exams may greatly
benefit from it.”
 The amounts used in the study
were 500 mg, equal to about five bars
of chocolate. If you want to concentrate better on your
studying or a difficult task, you can try eating chocolate. But the
researchers said that doing it habitually is not recommended.
This is because you may gain a few kilograms if you
eat too much chocolate!
If you want to boost your brain power before exams,
choose dark chocolate. Milk chocolate contains too much sugar and
fat. Eating fresh vegetables and fruit
is another good way to make your brain more powerful. |
