| Healthy - Depression Killing Chocolate |
Have you or are you still suffering from Depression? Having this condition is not the easiest of things at the best of times. As you will know depression can and does affect you physically & mentally. I have been there myself and needed plenty of treatment & medication to get myself right.
Well, only just a few months ago, I was still suffering from anxiety & stress related issues that were affecting me from day to day. Not very nice for those who know what I am on about? It can and quite often dominates our life unless dealt with in the proper way.
For a lot of people, chocolate can help people with depression. Chocolate causes the secretion of serotonin- which is also known as the 'HAPPY HORMONE'. Serotonin is classed as a healthy chemical that will help in lifting your depression. People relate chocolate to something that makes them happy. Well, that's exactly true and to the point.
The main problem with chocolate is that a lot of people put on weight. This problem can cause mental distress, just on it's own. So the question is. How do we actually manage to eat the food that everybody enjoys the most. Well, that can be done with just looking around and seeing what is on sale. But as you know, when we are under the weather, we often do not feel like going out and looking in loads of shops, i.e. when we feel not motivated enough.
Well, there is a way that you can eat chocolate without putting on weight and be able to enjoy all the benefit that chocolate can bring us. Dark chocolate contains so many different properties that can not just help you to lose weight but also tackles depression. Dark chocolate can also help in a lot more area's when coming down to your health.
Raw, unprocessed, non-alkalized, chocolate contains the following healthy chemical compounds:
1. It tastes good
2. It stimulates endorphin production which gives a feeling of pleasure
3. Anandamide (a neurotransmitter known as "the bliss chemical")
4. Salsolinol (anti-stress neurotransmitter)
5. Serotonin (natural antidepressant)
6. Tryptophan (anti-depressant amino acid)
I would just like to talk about the healthy chemical which is called 'Serotonin'. This chemical is absolutely fantastic for people who suffer from depression or even other related issues like Anxiety and stress which are often related to the symptoms of depression. Dark chocolate is so rich in 'Serotonin' and can have great results on people's moods and just how they feel in general.
If I was to say to you today that you could eat 'Pure dark healthy chocolate and start to feel better in yourself, would you believe me ? Well what I am saying is 100% true. My anxiety and stress levels have gone down so much that, it just unbelievable. Throughout all the time that I was taking meds, I have never felt like this and it all come down to this chocolate. |
