E hauʻoli anei ke kokoleka iā ʻoe?

Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi haʻawina i ka makahiki 1996 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā endorphins i loko o ka lolo o nā wahine i ke kokoleka, e hauʻoli ai lākou.

Loaʻa i ka kokoleka kekahi mau pūhui i hoʻopili ʻia i ke kemika hoʻokiʻekiʻe naʻau i loko o ka lolo. Ua ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia he antidepressant kūlohelohe a ʻo kekahi o nā kemika i hana ʻia e kou lolo i kou wā e aloha ai. ʻO Tryptophan, kahi amino acid i loaʻa i nā mea liʻiliʻi i loko o ke kokoleka, pili i ka hana ʻana o ke serotonin, kahi neurotransmitter e hoʻopuka ai i nā manaʻo hauʻoli. Hoʻohui pū kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe i ka hopena i manaʻo ʻia o ke kokoleka - no ka laʻana hiki i ka theobromine ke hoʻonui i ka puʻuwai puʻuwai, a ʻike ʻia ka caffeine he lāʻau "ala-ala".

Akā ʻo ka hapa nui o kēia mau pūhui i loaʻa wale i nā mea liʻiliʻi i loko o ke kokoleka, a i kēia manawa ua ʻōlelo kekahi poʻe ʻepekema ua ʻeli loa lākou ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i ka lolo. ʻO ia paha ka ʻike o ka ʻai ʻana i ke kokoleka, hoʻomāʻona i ka makemake i ka meaʻai, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā endorphins a me nā "manaʻo hauʻoli" i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma mua o ka ʻike o ke kokoleka ponoʻī.
