The Sixth Love Language
Since the time of the Aztecs, chocolate has been associated with romance and desire. The emperor Montezuma reportedly consumed large amounts of chocolate before visiting his harem; and while we don't love that about him, at least he had his priorities straight.
Chocolate contains several compounds that can, in theory, influence arousal and mood.
Phenylethylamine (PEA): a compound that can trigger the release of dopamine, which may create feelings of pleasure and excitement.
Tryptophan: a fun word to say with a mouthful of chocolate, this amino acid can help produce serotonin – the well-known mood-booster that pairs with all expressions of romance.
Theobromine: similar on a chemical level but without the 'edge' of caffeine, chocolate's mild stimulant can offer the energy boost to fuel a fling as far-fetched as the physical form so desires – without the crash.
Anandamide: the only thing better than a reliably euphoria-inducing neurotransmitter is when it's also coated in chocolate.
