Τις ευεργετικές ιδιότητες του κακάο στην εγκεφαλική λειτουργία επισημαίνει πρόσφατη μελέτη της Ιατρικής Σχολής του πανεπιστημίου Χάρβαρντ. Σύμφωνα με την έρευνα που δημοσιεύτηκε στο περιοδικό Neurology η κατανάλωση δύο φλιτζανιών κακάο κάθε ημέρα μπορεί να βοηθήσει τους ηλικιωμένους να διατηρήσουν σε καλύτερη κατάσταση τη μνήμη τους.


Οι ερευνητές μελέτησαν 60 ανθρώπους με μέση ηλικία 73 ετών, που δεν είχαν άνοια. Οι εθελοντές έπιναν δύο φλιτζάνια ζεστού κακάο καθημερινά επί 30 μέρες χωρίς να καταναλώνουν σοκολάτα σε οποιαδήποτε άλλη μορφή στη διάρκεια του μήνα. Παράλληλα, υποβάλλονταν σε μνημονικά και νοητικά τεστ, ενώ μέσω υπερήχων καταγραφόταν η ποσότητα του αίματος που κυκλοφορούσε στον εγκέφαλό τους.


Η μελέτη έδειξε ότι, μετά από έναν μήνα κατανάλωσης κακάο, η κατάσταση των εθελοντών που είχαν μειωμένη ροή αίματος στον εγκέφαλο όταν ξεκίνησαν το πείραμα βελτιώθηκε κατά 8,3%. Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι η μειωμένη ροή αίματος στον εγκέφαλο αποτελεί πιθανή ένδειξη νόσων όπως η άνοια και το Αλτσχάιμερ. Ακόμα, οι άνθρωποι με μειωμένη κυκλοφορία αίματος στον εγκέφαλο εμφάνισαν βελτιωμένη επίδοση στα τεστ μνήμης μετά τη συστηματική κατανάλωση κακάο.


Αν και τα ευρήματα της έρευνας είναι πραγματικά εντυπωσιακά οι γιατροί επισημαίνουν ότι χρειάζονται περισσότερες έρευνες για να  αποδειχθεί η ακριβής σχέση του κακάο με τα προβλήματα της κυκλοφορίας του αίματος και την έκπτωση των νοητικών λειτουργιών. Μέχρι τότε βέβαια όσοι το επιθυμούν έχουν, πλέον, και την άδεια των γιατρών για ένα ζεστό και απολαυστικό φλιτζάνι κακάο.
