hey guys I wanted to do a quick video to

answer question does chocolate have

caffeine okay and the answer is yes it

does have a small amount it like one

ounce of chocolate will have anywhere

between 4 to 20 milligrams of caffeine

which is pretty small compared to coffee

or even tea but it has something else

called theobromine okay now what is that

well this is also a stimulant this is a

stimulant but theobromine is a

vasodilator okay

caffeine is a vasoconstrictor what does

that mean

it means that when something is vaso

dilated it opens up it relaxes the blood

vessel it actually will reduce blood

pressure

caffeine is constrictor it can increase

blood pressure

theobromine also is a mood elevator it

kind of brings you up okay and that’s

why people consume chocolate when

they’re depressed so the two big

problems with consuming chocolate is

it’s hard to find chocolate without

sugar okay so if you could find

chocolate with stevia or maybe inulin or

a wreath root all that would be better

but the other problem is these two

stimulants which can keep you up at

night so if you’re going to consume some

chocolate make sure it’s sugar-free and

consume it earlier in the day thanks for
