Chocolate's Bliss Chemicals:
Phenylethylanmine(PEA): This interesting compound both stimulates endorphins and potentiates the activity of dopamine, these are both associated with feelings of pleasure. PEA reproduces the feelings of 'fall in love', while this may seem fanciful, there is a reason Americans give heaps of chocolate to loved ones on the 14th of February. PEA also assists with enhancing focus and alertness. Aanadamide: This is a cannabiniod compound and its effects are entirely positive. Ananda in Sanskrit means bliss and this compound is known to elevate mood, decreases depression and contribute to feelings of elation.
