FALLING IN LOVE WITH CHOCOLATE Valentine’s Day and chocolate have been linked for some time now, but there really hasn’t been any defi nitive explana- tion for just why the delicious confection and the day of love seem to go hand in hand. The average American eats 11 pounds of chocolate every year, a signifi cant percentage of which is enjoyed around Val- entine’s Day. The reason people are known to enjoy and crave chocolate may be connected to its chemical components. Chocolate has been known to affect mood in many ways. It contains 380 known chemicals, triggering a host of responses in the brain. Chocolate can trigger the production of opioids, which are chemicals, such as those found in opium, that pro- duce a feeling of well-being (euphoria). Eating chocolate then may make a person feel better, which is why chocolate is often a turn-to comfort snack. Chocolate also may work like THC, the chemical components in marijuana, extending the feeling of being “high” or well-being. Chocolate can also increase blood pressure and blood-sugar levels, attributing to feelings of alertness. The caffeine in choc- olate also acts as a stimulant. However, the reason chocolate may be snatched up come Valentine’s Day is that chocolate appears to contain pheny- lalanine, the same chemical that is produced by the brain when people fall in love. Doctors think that eating chocolate creates a temporary “love high.” s e g e For those gifting chocolate for r Valentine’s Day, consider dark chocolate, which is also high in an- tioxidants. This chocolate is among the healthier varieties in which to indulge. THERA-SSAGE It’s time to take care of yourself. 431-2 S.
