    Red wine and dark chocolate are the best partners for brain power and alertness, a new British study has found The University of Northumbria has conducted two studies on the effects of polyphenols on the brain In one study, healthy adults took resveratrol capsules, the magical ingredient found in red wine, and were given a series of tests The results of brain scanning showed that the cerebral blood flow of the subjects increased significantly Dr Emma Whitman, director of the new study, said that with the acceleration of aging, the cerebral blood flow showed a natural downward trend, so the increase of cerebral blood flow in the elderly after taking resveratrol capsule was more obvious According to Dr Whitman's analysis, polyphenols, a plant chemical found in dark chocolate and red wine, can dilate blood vessels and speed up blood flow to the brain This helps increase the amount of oxygen and blood sugar supplied to the brain, thus making complex brain activities easier and faster In addition, polyphenols in red wine and dark chocolate work better together than alone Dr Whitman said that drinking red wine will increase resveratrol, and if you eat dark chocolate or take resveratrol tonic at the same time, you will benefit the brain and other health benefits Resveratrol can prolong life and counteract the bad effects of junk food New research also shows that polyphenols in red wine and dark chocolate are good for health, and no adverse effects have been found.
