Dr Catarina Rendeiro, Assistant Professor in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Birmingham, added: "This research shows that drinking or eating a food high in flavanols can be used as a strategy to mitigate some of the impact of poorer food choices on the vascular system. This can help us make more informed decisions about what we eat and drink during stressful periods."

Additionally, findings from the study generate testable hypotheses for future research, which combined with further basic studies, will enable more informed clinical decisions and public health policies.

Diby’s classmate Autumn Weems, 16, added that the ability to vote has motivated her to become more informed about the issues affecting her school.
