New York (INA) - Cocoa can improve memory in elderly people with age-related memory loss, a new study suggests. According to the American Health Day medical website, the study was led by Professor Scott Small, Director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center of the Top Institute at Columbia University in New York, and included a cocoa drink made in a certain way that was tested for 3 months on elderly patients. The results came that this cocoa recipe can restore the memory of 60-year-olds to its intensity during their forties, and the researchers confirm that the study has nothing to do with chocolate, but with flavanols found in many fruits, vegetables, tea leaves and raw cocoa. It is noteworthy that the drink used in the study was prepared from a powder rich in flavanol, mixed with milk and given to the participants, who numbered 37 elderly participants, according to Reuters.
