so I have another question for you are

you emotionally involved with chocolate

do you just love chocolate would you

like to know why there’s something in

this chocolate that’s giving you a

pleasure sensation

there’s over 380 chemicals but of those

380 there’s three that mainly create

this effect let’s start from the top

first one is called phenyl alanine so

what actually is this phenyl alanine

it’s really just a building block to

make dopamine okay

dopamine is a neurotransmitter it’s a

hormone like substance that travels

through the nervous system in the brain

which is different than actual hormones

that travel through the blood

okay so dopamine is the main

neurotransmitter that’s elevated when

you take drugs so it’s a mood enhancer

phenyl alanine also can increase

endorphins endorphins are chemical

compounds that give you the state of

euphoria or it just like an uplifted

feeling now phenyl alanine can also

increase something called Noor

adrenaline which is similar to

adrenaline but this neurotransmitter

just helps you feel awake it’s involved

in a lot of chemical processes but it’s

gonna actually just wake you up it’s

gonna make you feel more alert then we

have something called theobromine and

don’t worry there’s no bromine in

theobromine and the Greek word for Theo

is God and bromo is food so this word

comes from the concept of the food of

the gods

okay theobromine is a very similar

chemistry to caffeine with a slight

little difference so there is caffeine

and chocolate but there’s more

theobromine so it’s a stimulant it

increases mental clarity focus it’s also

a diuretic so it’s gonna make you pee

more it’s a vasodilator now the problem

is if your liver is damaged so let’s say

for example you have a fatty liver or we

have cirrhosis or hepatitis whatever

you’re not gonna have the capacity to

rid theobromine or even caffeine for

that matter out of the liver as fast as

you should so if you’re consuming just a

little bit of chocolate let’s say later

in the day or before you go to bed

you’re not going to be able to sleep

because the stimulants gonna

a lot longer then we have tryptophan

okay this is an amino acid which is a

precursor for serotonin so it turns into

serotonin that is a neurotransmitter

that will give you the stain of

well-being it makes you feel calm it

reduces stress it’s gonna help if you’re

under anxiety if you’re depressed it’ll

bring you up and this is why people

consume chocolate when they’re depressed

because it’s an it’s it’s gonna elevate

your mood so there’s a lot of other

nutrients in chocolate that are good for

you and as long as you’re not doing too

much of it I think you’re gonna be fine

but you just want to make sure you don’t

consume it too late in the day where

it’s gonna keep you up at night and of

course I don’t need to say this but if

you’re new to my channel I need to say

this you never want to consume chocolate

with all the sugar lose weight too much

sugar in chocolate it’s like 30 grams

per bar so that’s way too much you wanna

buy chocolate that’s sugar-free so when

I say sugar-free I’m not talking about

using multi tall for example that’s

really really high on the glycemic index

so it can really raise your blood

Sugar’s you want to get chocolate with

other alternative sweeteners like a

wreath rotol stevia monk fruit emule in

xylitol those are totally fine all right

well thanks for watching and also go

ahead and comment below if you have a

severe addiction I’m sorry an emotional

relationship with chocolate I want to

know thanks for watching

yeah you should keep questioning things

because sometimes she’s but the real big

problem with chocolate is this sugar

okay so what what so I have another

question
