Evidence is accumulating that food intolerance and food sensitivities like gluten and milk protein can trigger mood swings, anxiety, fatigue and even schizophrenia. It has been proven that chocolate (dark chocolate especially) enhances the production of certain chemicals called endorphins. Researchers have found that inadequate levels of magnesium in the body can result in damage to the brain’s nerve cells leading to depression and mood disorders. Deficiencies of micronutrients including iron, copper, zinc and antioxidants impair neurotransmitter synthesis. Severe chronic deficiencies of vitamin B6, B12, folic acid, thiamine, niacin, vitamin C and magnesium can cause irritability, mood swings, depression, dementia or schizophrenia. The taste of chocolate is irresistible and it raises the endorphin levels. A drop in blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) can cause irritability, depression, fatigue and moodiness. Verse 3: Jon Mess I fuck them bright clothes, the white guy guy-code Burnt all the bridges, its just a pile of wood I couldnt wait though, admit I ate those Book-flavored pavement, endorphin. It also has to do with the idea of what chocolate is to me. Other factors in food that affect mood include blood sugar levels, nutrient deficiencies, toxic heavy metals and food sensitivities. Fat and phenylethylamine are associated with endorphin release and as mentioned sugars improve the serotonin secretion, so It’s not surprising, why many crave chocolates when feeling depressed. Out of all the foods that trigger the release of serotonin and dopamine, chickpeas (or garbanzo beans) are one that has been recognized and loved for centuries and centuries in many different culture. Another reason why chocolates help in elevating mood is its fat and phenyl-ethylamine content. Researchers have found that cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate, causes the brain to release these feel good chemicals (AKA endorphins). Scientific human and animal studies have shown that serotonin reduced caloric intake by reducing hunger and increasing satiety.Ĭhocolate consumption increases the release of serotonin and endorphins into the body, which together produce a relaxing and euphoric feeling. Endorphins interact with the receptors in our brain that reduce the perception of pain, and can help trigger a positive feeling in the body. It has been suggested that serotonin has a role to play in appetite control and may inhibit eating. Interestingly, it also explains the drowsiness that sets in after eating a carbohydrate rich meal. This explains why often people crave for carbohydrate foods like sweets, breads, rice and pasta and seek these as comfort and calming foods. Foods high in carbohydrates increase the production of tryptophan, a precursor of serotonin. Changes in the levels of these neurotransmitters leads to alteration of moods and state of mind.
