Why does chocolate make us happy?

Have you ever wished that everything around you should have been made up out of chocolate? Just like in the movie, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. everything from the clothes you were to the shoes on your feet. You could just lick or eat up any type of chocolate you wished too. Now, why would anyone want that? The answer is simple because chocolates are the most delicious treats anyone could ever eat. They are just highly addictive and tempting and irresistible. Chocolates make you feel like a kid again. Some girls love chocolates so fondly that they call themselves ‘chocoholic’. That’s a term used to describe a person who dearly loves to eat chocolates. But ignoring the taste and emotional factors, how exactly chocolates makes us happy?

Chocolates contain a number of substances that promote our inner happiness and make us feel jolly. The most common one is phenylethylamine, which acts as a natural antidepressant and is also produced by the brain when we tend to fall in love with someone. They also have a little amount of amino acid namely ‘Tryptophan’. This amino acid helps in the production of serotonin which is a neurotransmitter that makes us feel delighted and relaxed. Some chocolates also contain Caffeine which is basically known as a wake-up drug also found in coffee. Some types of chocolates also have theobromine which produces a relaxing and stress relieving effect inside your mind.

Moreover, apart from these chemical substances inside chocolates that make us happy, the real or more practical reason maybe just the feeling of eating chocolate gives you the utmost satisfaction. There are hardly any people who hate or dislike the taste of chocolates. Else, everyone from kids to adults loves to eat chocolates. The sweet and delicious taste of chocolates, melting in our mouths feels like paradise. Apart from eating them directly, some people even prefer chocolate as their all-time favorite flavor. It may be for cakes, ice cream, or any other dessert. But chocolate still remains the best flavor to have in a dessert. So, eat chocolates and be always happy!!
