According to research from the British Psychological Society, chocolate improves your mental sharpness. In the study, adults were given either a chocolate drink containing 520 mg of cocoa flavanols or one with 993 mg cocoa flavanols, while a control group received a placebo drink. All three groups were then given challenging mathematical problems. The two sets of participants who had the flavanol-rich drinks performed significantly better on the tasks; they also reported feeling less tired.
The best type of chocolate to eat is plain dark chocolate, 70% cocoa or more. So keep away from the sweet chocolate bars with filling, and stock up on the good stuff. If you find your creativity improving as a result, don't be too surprised!
