Do you have a “sweet tooth”?
According to study, addiction to sweets exists and the process is absolutely identical to the cocaine or morphine addiction. The sweets determines the brain to produce certain chemicals that make the body ask for more. When you eat sweets, the large amount of glucose determines a large production of insulin, the glucose is easily absorbed in the blood, and you`ll feel more hunger. In the same time, the brain also produces dopamine, a substance that makes us remember the product we enjoyed.
is used to describe not only the basic taste quality but also something that is desirable or pleasurable
Some may say it increase their effectiveness, boost their energy level and do wonders on their emotions. But others will just simply say it is to satisfy their hunger. Sweets, particularly chocolates, may alleviate depression and premenstrual symptoms and provide relief from the cravings for other drugs, because sweet taste releases opiates into the blood. There are substance in chocolates to improve the function and flow of blood vessels and help control inflammation
If you feel like sweets are starting to become a refugee when you feel sad, tired, or nervous, pay attention to what you buy and eat. Would you go for just sweet or bittersweet? For me, the bitter the better!
