Hello my awesome readers!
Have you ever heard the words saying "Chocolate makes you happy" or "Coffee warms your heart"?
Chocolate
Consuming chocolate can affect the amount of
serotonin in the brain. This chemical is known for having an effect on mood and
is regulated by many anti-depressants. Chocolate contains substances called
unsaturated N-acylethoamines that is responsible to activate cannaboid
receptors that have the same effects that occur with marijuana consumption, but
on a much smaller level. A finding by a Russian chemist in 1841 stated that raw
bitter chocolate contains theobromine that is similar to caffeine in coffee.
This substance is a stimulant that can make you feel more alert and energetic
resulting in greater feeling of happiness.
Coffee
A study conducted by Harvard University
published in the World Journal of Biological Psychology states that caffeine in
coffee stimulates the central nervous system by increasing the production of
neurotransmitters in the brain such as noradrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine.
So, it can provide the same effects as a mild antidepressant and not just a
stimulant. In other words, coffee can be a powerful drug to release stress.
However, the overdose consumption of coffee may reduce your sleep time and could
make you twitchy. So, take enough portion.
Maybe you don’t really understand about the chemical terms above, but chemically, chocolate and coffee do have the ability to boost mood. However, consuming both of them in unwisely dosage won't be good for your health. You must know that everything that is 'too much' is never good.
