Did you know that dark chocolate can be beneficial to your brain, aid in memory, and boost cognitive function? Dark chocolate (70% cacao or more) is rich in antioxidants! Antioxidants are especially important for brain health, as the brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress, which contributes to age-related cognitive decline and brain diseases. Eating the right kind of dark chocolate may improve brain plasticity, which is crucial for learning, and may also provide other brain-related benefits.
