Cocoa Mojo is also Brain food !

Eating chocolate could help to sharpen up the mind and give a short-term boost to cognitive skills. A study led by Professor Ian Macdonald, professor of metabolic physiology at The University of Nottingham, found that consumption of a cocoa drink rich in flavanols -a key ingredient of dark chocolate- boosts blood flow to key areas of the brain for two to three hours. The results of his MRI studies also suggests that the flavanols found in cocoa could be useful in boosting brain function for people fighting fatigue, sleep deprivation and even the effects of ageing.
