Study in the elderly with slight cognitive impairment shows that a high amount of cocoa consumption improved their situation. In addition, cocoa has good effect on the cardiovascular system and blood vessels.
Regular consumption of cocoa may improve cognitive function in adults with mild cognitive impairment, and as well beneficial to the heart and blood vessels.
that new study was recently published in the Hypertension journal.
According to the researchers, given the global rise of cognitive disorders in Western countries, the findings provide encouraging evidence that the consumption of cocoa, containing Flvenoids, May be used as a tool to improve or preserve cognitive function in adults.
For researching, the researchers recruited 90 elderly with mild cognitive impairment. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: one consumed 990 mg (dose
High Flevenols for two months, the second 520 mg (medium dose) and the third group consumed 45 mg (low dose). The response was good overall, with 99.6% of participants After a month and 99.4% of patients after two months, with no differences between groups. The researchers evaluated the mental functioning on the basis of Acceptable tests in that field and also Fluency assessment tests.
Impact on the balance of glucose and insulin
During the study period, the time it took the patients to complete a test has changed significantly, Elderly patients who consumed high and medium cocoa dose completed another test faster than peers who consumed a low dose of cocoa.
The scores of the two tests were good with those who took a high or medium dose
Of cocoa, compared to those who consumed a low dose. In addition, significant improvement in fluency scores during the study, with the improvement described in the high and medium dose of cocoa and a smaller scale, with low-dose cocoa intake.
Improvement on tests assessing fluency was significantly greater in those who consumed a high amount of cocoa, compared to those who consumed a small amount. The researchers report that the impression is that the central factor plays a role in the effect of cocoa on cognitive function is the effect on the balance of sugar and insulin in the body.
Figures show that regular consumption of cocoa, with a well-balanced diet, may be an effective approach to protect the brain, health and also the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.
The researchers caution that the intervention lasted only two months and that the study participants were in good health and free of heart and blood vessels disease and therefore asks for more researches to take place on the subject.
