Legendary RUSSIAN NEUROSURGEON says this sweet is 'fuel for the brain': At 92, he eats it every day
Not every sweet is an enemy of the brain - on the contrary. A famous neurosurgeon claims there is one dessert that literally 'feeds' neurons and preserves memory. However, there's an important catch: if consumed at the wrong time or with the wrong addition, it loses all its power.
TL;DR
- Dark chocolate with over 70% cocoa is beneficial for brain health, acting as 'fuel' for neurons.
- Flavonoids in dark chocolate improve cerebral circulation, reduce oxidative stress, and slow nerve cell aging.
- The recommended daily intake is 20-30 grams of pure dark chocolate.
- Milk chocolate and dark chocolate with additives like artificial sweeteners or caramel negate the benefits.
- Consuming dark chocolate with milk or dairy products prevents flavonoid absorption.
- The best time to eat dark chocolate is early afternoon with a glass of plain water.
- Higher cocoa percentage means less sugar and more antioxidants.
