Why we love chocolate?
2010年9月24日 星期五
Chocolate's ingredients have a significant impact on brain chemistry, it is a drug, too, with specific pharmacological action.
The sweet stuff contains cannabinoids, the compounds responsible for the high of marijuana. More significantly, chocolate contains caffeine and two substances, tyramine and tryptophan, that the brain converts into the feel-good chemicals dopamine and serotonin.
Chocolate stimulates the brain's pleasure centers, even opening the wrapper and looking at the contents starts your serotonin fibers firing.
However, too much chocolate causes a headache. That's probably due to the rush of serotonin.
Hot Chocolate or Red Wine or Green Tea?!?!
"Beyond the froth, cocoa teems with antioxidants that prevent cancer", Cornell University food scientists say. They have found that cocoa has nearly 2 times of the antioxidants of red wine and up to 3 times those found in green tea.
Can Chocolate Bar work the same way as Hot Chocolate?
"Although a bar of chocolate exhibits strong antioxidant activity, the health benefits are still controversial because of the SATURATED FATS present," the researchers write. They explain that cocoa has about one-third of a gram of fat per one-cup serving, compared with eight grams of fat in a standard-size 40-gram chocolate bar.
With hot cocoa in the morning, green tea in the afternoon and a glass of red wine in the evening. That's a good combination.
