Melting stress... with one chocolate word 🍫

"Eat chocolate and feel better" doesn't seem like it. 😊 There's a real biochemical reason, especially dark chocolate from Theobroma cacao.

This is what happens in your body right after eating.

🍫 1) Stimulate the substance of happiness (Serotonin & Dopamine)

Cocoa contains the amino acid tryptophan, which is the raw material for the body to make serotonin.

→ Mood stagnant up, relaxed, anxiety down

😊 2) contains a natural "filgood" substance (PEA).

In cocoa, there is Phenylethylamine (PEA), the same substance that the brain secretes when it is "happy / in love."

→ Make me feel good. Be awake softly.

🧠 3) Reduce stress hormone (Cortisole)

Research has shown that dark chocolate actually reduces cortisol levels.

→ Calm down. Body's not taut.

🌿 4) High flavonoids. Blood to feed the brain.

Cocoa has very high flavonoids.

→ Increased blood flow to the brain

→ Brain clears, ideas slip up, mood improves

☕ 5) Contains caffeine + theobromine, mild, refreshing, but not as strong as coffee.

→ Feeling rejuvenated without palpitations

🫶 6) Psychological comfort

The taste, smell and texture of chocolate have been linked to "comfort" since many people's childhood.

Which one is best to relieve stress?

👉 choose dark chocolate ≥ 70% cocoa to get a good substance, less sugar.

👉 eat a little is enough (about 1-2 pieces). The brain is starting to respond.

👉 if stressed, tired, can't figure out the job - a small piece of dark chocolate actually resets the mood. 🍫✨
