Although all people, including men, love chocolate, why do so many women love it so much? And why do some women think chocolate is better than anything else?
The answer to this puzzle is that men and women have differences in the hormonal changes that occur to them. Stay tuned.
Why women love chocolate?
✅ Chocolate helps release serotonin, the hormone of happiness, balances moods, reduces sensory changes and prevents depression.
✅ It also produces the hormone dopamine, which makes you mentally alert. Dopamine deficiency causes decreased concentration and bad emotional states.
But if chocolates helps all people to improve their mood, why do women like it so much?
The hormonal level of women is changing every moment (primarily due to monthly periods), and this issue makes them more vulnerable to sensory changes. Now, the more a person’s mood changes, the more she will need and depend on something that makes her mood happy and stable. And this is where chocolate plays its role.
✅ Women love chocolates because it helps them feel better and experience more stable feelings in the face of hormonal changes.
✅ While it seems a little exaggerated, scientists say that chocolate causes the release of phenylethylamine, the same hormone of love released when you are in love with someone.
In addition, research shows that chocolate affects women’s brains differently. MRI scanned some men’s and women’s brains, and the result was that chocolate affects the amygdala activity in women’s minds more. The part is responsible for influencing sexual desires and is the part of the brain that can control emotions.
Therefore, women love chocolates because it helps them to keep their body hormones more stable.
