Anandamide: The Chocolate High
Chocolate does indeed make us feel blissed out. It is actually an ANANDAMIDE.
Ananda = Internal Bliss in Sanskrit
Anandamide is an endocannabinoid. That means that once in the human body it works with our natural Endocannabanoid System to keep us healthy and balanced.
Here is some research from the Cannabis Nurses Network How to support the Endocannabinoid System without Marijuana
“Cocoa powder contains three constituents that are structurally similar to endocannabinoids.
70% or higher dark chocolate or raw cacao are higher in these cannabinoid-like compounds. Cacao is rich in anandamide-like molecules, an endocannabinoid that is naturally produced in the human brain and regulates mood, memory, appetite, and pain perception.
Anandamide is known as the “bliss” neurotransmitter because it causes a euphoric “high” when released — it is often called the body’s natural version of THC. Plant-derived anandamide-like molecules (as found in cacao) lingers in the body, drawing out the joyful feeling longer than an average runner’s high. This is also why women crave chocolate during their monthly cycles, due to their anandamide levels being deficient”
Here is more great info on chocolate and Anandamide by the man that literally wrote the book on chocolate NAKED CHOCOLATE, David Wolfe:
Anandamide in Raw Cacao & Raw Chocolate
In 1996, just a little over a decade after the discovery of neurotransmitter PEA compounds (love chemicals) in chocolate, researchers discovered the bliss chemical “anandamide” in chocolate. And, as far as I know, chocolate is the only food to contain anandamide. Anandamide is an endogenous ligand that your body produces when you feel a workout “high.” It is a natural pleasure molecule that fits into the cannabinoid receptor sites of the cells of the nervous system. Anandamide has been associated with improving motivation and increasing pleasure. A study published in July 1998 indicated that anandamide inhibits human breast cancer cells.
