Chocolate - Feel good

The chocolate

Chocolate has hundreds of naturally occurring chemicals in it that have been shown to have “feel good” affects on our bodies, which probably contribute to why people like it! One good example is that certain substances in chocolate have been shown to help your body produce more of a special chemical known as “serotonin.” Because serotonin makes us feel relaxed, eating chocolate has a pleasurable, relaxing effect that makes you feel good!

Just like serotonin, there are chemicals in our bodies that chocolate might affect, in addition to other ways it’s been shown to influence people’s moods and feelings. 

Listening to your body!

Lots of people often say they “crave” chocolate, and many scientists say that's because their bodies know it will help them to produce more “feel good” chemicals!
