Why does this chocolate shake have the properties to lift your spirits efficiently?
If you're like most of the Western world, you've probably ever wondered why chocolate can be so addictive, as well as having a lingering rich sweet taste. Well, it has to do with your brain and brain chemistry, chemicals known as neurotransmitters.
What are neurotransmitters? They act as messengers or little power agents that run around our brain telling the body what to do. They orchestrate our moods, influence our thought patterns, and affect our energy levels, alertness, concentration, and drowsiness.
Cocoa
Cocoa contains everything to bring out the good mood. For example, it contains a molecule called anandamide - known as the happiness molecule, which creates a feeling of euphoria.
Another mood-enhancing compound found in cocoa is PEA, or phenylethylamine, which triggers the release of endorphins and pleasant opium-like neurotransmitters. These are often released naturally when we fall in love and during sexual activity. (The only other food on earth that contains PEA is blue-green algae.)
As if that weren't enough, cocoa balances hormones, increases brain levels of serotonin, the brain chemical that makes you feel good. When women experience PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome), serotonin levels drop dramatically. It has been proven that one of the benefits of cocoa is to increase the brain levels of calming hormones and restore the feeling of well-being.
Pumpkin seeds to oxygenate the brain
This nutritious chocolate drink also features pumpkin seeds that are rich in tryptophan and coconut, which is loaded with medium chain triglycerides which are the facts that keep your brain oxygenated, healthy and happy.
Coconut butter
These ingredients and more that together are a perfect combination for your stomach and your brain. For example, there is coconut butter that, in addition to adding an extra delicious flavor, increases your metabolism, which helps in weight loss and increases energy levels. Plus, it's packed with healthy fats, so you feel full longer, as well as essential amino acids, calcium, and magnesium.
