Chocolate and white water painkillers

Eat chocolate or drinking a glass of water effectively helps relieve pain.

Based on research conducted by the Chicago University, found the facts to distract him eat or drink for pleasure purposes is a natural painkiller.

For that consuming chocolate or drinking a glass of water is considered to be able to help ease the pain.

This statement is corroborated by the findings of a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience. When eating or drinking, part of the brain known as the raphe Magnus will help ease the pain.

In this study, the researchers gave chocolate, sugared water or white water to the rats in the cage.

This cage is heated by placing lights below. These mice react to heat by way of pawing the ground. However, the reaction was much to slow the animal after being given food or drink than when without food or drink.

The reduction was the same reaction in mice that eating chocolate or drinking water. According to the researchers, this proves that not only sugary foods that can ease the pain (such as the discovery of previous studies).

"This really has nothing to do with calories. Water contains no calories, no saccharine also have sugars, but both had the same effect with chocolate. This is really shocking," explained researcher Dr. Peggy Mason, was quoted as saying Dailymail site.

When the experiment is repeated by giving quinine, a bitter drink that is not pleasant, the animal is returned to react quickly when they do not eat or drink. This proves that food and drink only ease the pain if fun. Eating chocolate does not make a difference if the sick mice, althoughdrinking water is still slowing the response to the hot floor.

Mason believed that the same effect is also found in humans. Previous studies have shown that babies will experience reduced pain when given a sugary drink when getting a vaccine shot.

But this discovery could end the use of sweet foods to calm the children as to the doctor.

"Eating is a painkiller, but we do not need sugar, so sweet with candy replace drinking water," said Mason.
