There is, yet again, another reason to enjoy chocolate. Researchers from the University of Maine and South Australia found that chocolate is good for memory and other cognitive skills, according to the New York Post. In fact, the scientists found that those who ate chocolate at least once per week were “positively associated with cognitive performance, across a range of cognitive domains.”
More frequent consumption of chocolate was linked with better measures of visual-spatial memory and organization and abstract reasoning, among other things.
The research was published in the journal Appetite.
