As the pandemic grinds on and the holidays loom, many people may be wishing they could get their brains working better.

UPI reports British and American researchers say flavanol-rich cocoa drinks can improve brain oxygenation and cognitive performance in healthy adults.
Flavanols are small molecules found in many fruits and vegetables, and cocoa, too.
