研究顯示巧克力可抵抗老年人記憶衰退
A new study finds a compound in chocolate called flavanol can help reverse memory loss in older adults. Our doctor B talked about this now,which is the first study which he said is found by Mars and Paul and of course they make chocolate bars. But still there is some promise here.
一項新的研究發現，巧克力中一種叫做黃烷醇的化合物可以幫助抵抗老年人記憶力衰退。我們的醫生現在和我們探討一下這個話題。這是我們看到的首個這樣的研究。是由Mars和Paul進行的。他們指的是巧克力棒。但是仍然給我們帶來一些希望。
Yes, there is. I mean this is interesting. it’s promising. Mike, my confession, I am a big chocolate eater. I love chocolate. Yeah, well, we will get to that. They’ve been looking for years for ways to reverse or prevent that age-associated declining memory. We all have that. We forget things. And they found that animals that ate flavanols, this compound that’s in chocolate, hitting increased blood flow into the part of the brain that’s related to memory. Animals were effective. So they tried it on people, small group of people and they’ve found people who read high dietary intake in flavanols, they remembered more and their blood flowed that part of the brain increased.
是的。我是說，很有趣，很有希望。我是一個巧克力迷，非常喜歡吃巧克力。是的，我們都是如此。多年來，他們一直尋找抵抗或預防與年齡有關的記憶衰退的方法。我們都有這種問題存在。我們會健忘。巧克力中含有黃烷醇。他們發現吃黃烷醇的動物可以向大腦中負責記憶的部分泵入更多血液。在動物身上非常有效。他們也對人進行了實驗，接受實驗的是一個小群體。他們發現攝入黃烷醇較多的人記憶力更強，向大腦流入的血液量增加。
So how much chocolate are we talking about here?
那么，應該吃多少巧克力呢？
All right. It’s not what I have. I confess that every night I have a piece of dark chocolate. You would have to have equivalent to 20 chocolate bars a day, a day, to take enough flavanols. It’s not the milk chocolate that so many people like. That will hit you waistline.That will hit diabetes. (There is no flavanol in the milk chocolate?) There is, but either so much sugar and so little. You want a coco level above like 85%. Yeah, yes, it’s a lot.
好的。根據我個人的情況，我每晚都會吃一塊黑巧克力。要獲得足夠的黃烷醇，你每天可能需要吃相當于20個巧克力棒。不是許多人喜歡的牛奶巧克力。這會讓你的腰圍增加，導致糖尿病。（牛奶巧克力中沒有黃烷醇嗎？）有，但是也有很多糖，而黃烷醇的量很少。你需要可可含量超過80%的巧克力。是的，含量很高。
All right, what about if we don’t want to enjoy the dark chocolate, not a fan, but want those flavanols, what for me?
好的，如果我們不喜歡吃黑巧克力，又想獲得足夠的黃烷醇呢？
So you know all these fruits, onions, apples, red grapes, they all have flavanols. If you want to get dosing this add, they are all good foods for you anyway. But again there is a lot more work. This turn set up a bigger study. We want to see can this work because you can take out the flavanols and gives it in capsule form. But for now, dark chocolate is still a wonderful, wonderful thing.
你知道，所有的水果，洋蔥，蘋果，紅葡萄中都含有黃烷醇。如果你想要增加黃烷醇的攝入量，這些都是很好的食物。但是要強調一點，一切含有待確定，還有很多工作要做。我們要看一下該研究能否得到確定，或許可以生產出膠囊形式的黃烷醇。但是就現在來說，黑巧克力仍然是非常好的食物。
