In other recent research, it is shown that the amount of flavanol, which dark chocolate is rich in, was the key factor in helping seniors to reduce memory loss. Other articles state that flavanol also help in regulating your mood and even depression. So, the bottom line here is that eating dark chocolate is good for your memory, blood pressure, and your mood. It helps alleviate depression and also acts as an anti-inflammatory, which means that it is good for your brain. And if it is good for your brain...it is good for you.
You may have heard that too much caffeine can cause miscarriage (when a baby dies in the womb before 20 weeks of pregnancy). Some studies say this is true, and others donât. Until we know more about how caffeine can affect pregnancy, itâs best to limit the amount you get to 200 milligrams each day. This is about the amount in 1Â½ 8-ounce cups of coffee or one 12-ounce cup of coffee.
According to an article published in November 2008 in the journal BMJ, increased caffeine intake during pregnancy can lead to fetal growth restriction and possibly spontaneous abortion. To best minimize your risk, consume less than 100 milligrams of caffeine per day, or no more than 1 to 2 cups of coffee. Caffeine may also have adverse impacts in children, such as disturbing their sleep, and intake should be limited to 2.5 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of their body weight per day.
