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 are you what [Music] hey guys I’m not sure if you have my app yet dr.
