Cocoa

One of the most abundant food sources of flavonoid antioxidants, including epicatechin and catechin, is cocoa and cocoa derivatives like cacao nibs. Studies have revealed that these substances may be beneficial to the health of the brain since they contain anti-inflammatory and brain-protective characteristics. The brain receives more blood thanks to cocoa flavonoids, which also enhance visual processing. They help people perform better on specific cognitive tasks, according to research. Additionally, young people who consume cocoa may do better cognitively.

Both short- and long-term cocoa consumption improved cognitive function in children and young adults, according to a study of 11 research. The researchers hypothesized that consuming cocoa could improve cognitive function in linguistic learning and memory-related activities. However, further study has to be done on this by scientists.
