Is Chocolate an Energy Drink |
|
There are as many studies showing chocolate to be an energy drink as there are studies showing that it is not. If you are raised in a culture that believes chocolate will make you hyperactive, giving you a lot of energy, then it will probably do just that. However if you have been raised to believe that a cup of chocolate will relax and calm you, then have a cup before bed and find out, because for you it will probably do what you believe. Tolerance is built to the energy effect over time, for those who believe that chocolate is a stimulant. http://anonymouslyours.com While there are studies on caffeine showing it to stimulate the central nervous and cardiovascular systems, therefore causing nervousness, sleeplessness, anxiety, confusion and heart attacks. There are also studies that show caffeine to lessen fatigue, stimulate gastric secretions, promote urination and enhance intellectual facilities. It is not suggested that ulcer patients eat chocolate because of its ability to stimulate gastric secretions; chocolate has even been associated with acid reflux disease as it relaxes the esophagus. Theobromine is suggested to act the same way caffeine does, even though there are not studies showing it to be addictive, caffeine is definitely addictive (the withdrawal effects of caffeine are severe headache.) However, it is unlikely that a normal person would consume the amount of chocolate necessary to cause these side affects. http://anonymouslyours.com The comparison of caffeine in the same quantity of coffee, tea and cocoa follow: · Coffee contains 50 to 70 milligrams caffeine · Brewed tea has 25 to 100 milligrams of caffeine · Hot chocolate between 0 and 25 milligrams of caffeine Due to the diversity of results in testing chocolate, which may be from the fact that it never really mentions the quality of the cocoa used, we would be best if we simply keep in mind the many things proven about chocolate when we consume it, and take into consideration its effects on us individually. http://anonymouslyours.com Thank you, http://anonymouslyours.com
