The Science of Sweet Joy: How Chocolates with Jumping Improves Mood?

 


On July 7th of every year, International Chocolate Day brings the treats to our schedules; and here at Altitude Trampoline Park – Delmar, we aim to make this day an affair of the skies. Now the twist is: did you know that chocolate as well as jumping on indoor trampoline parks have some science behind them when it comes to their power to improve mood?


Imagine your child laughing, playing, and jumping around in the foam pit at fun parks near you, and then replenishing the energy with a chocolate chip cookie break! Well, there is an explanation! It is neither sugar nor silliness. It is a combo full of endorphins, serotonin, and even dopamine, with brain boosts built in. Let us unpeel some mouthwatering facts, as it is not only candies, but also chocolates, bringing in chemistry.

Chocolate and Brain: A Strong Hidden Science


Chocolates with 70%+ cocoa will increase your mood. It also has Phenylethylamine (PEA) which is also secreted in our brain when we are in love or when excited. Another ingredient in chocolate, called theobromine, provides you energy on a smaller scale (perfect before your jump!).


Cocoa contains flavonoids that enhance blood flow to the brain, which optimizes cognitive capability, yes even in children. As per the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, children between the age of 6-12 who took a small dose of dark chocolate prior to physical activity had a better 13 percent result in their focusing ability and coordination exercises.


Sugar Rush? A Myth to Burst!


Unfortunately, it is the sugar high that some parents dread, yet recent research by Pediatrics Meta Review has demonstrated that it depends on the context. During active play, less hyperactivity is likely to take place following some sugar intake and it is more probable that the sugar will be utilized as a source of energy. And yes, your children can eat their chocolate especially, when they are about to fly into a foam pit.

The Power of Bouncing 


Bouncing on a trampoline will not only provide you with fun and laughter but also is a complete body workout causing endorphins or the chemicals that make you feel good, fighting stress and creating a better mood. 


As per Global Wellness Institute, a trampoline play brings about a 22 percent optimization of the mood level in children, which is equivalent to 30 minutes running. Jumping is a good exercise that boosts the vestibular system to enable children acquire the sense of balance, coordination, and confidence.


Magical Mood - Deadly Combo of Chocolates + Jumping


The play is powered by chocolate. Jumping magnifies happiness. Together? They are more or less a parenting cheat code. The science behind combining trampoline jumping with chocolates is what parents are crazy about since it:


Burns energy in the right way, particularly on the weekends

Brings in a joy of indulgence without the guiltiness

Makes some essential memories that your children will beg to do again


Last Bounce - Sweet, Safe, and Scientifically Gratifying!


Chocolate Day is not another sugar-fest day. It is time to boogie down in celebration with a jump park near you just as Altitude Delmar with a lot of happy movements, guilt-free splurge, and the memories that do not easily wash off especially with chocolates lingering around on tiny fingers, which kids want to lick all day long. 


Let us jump together, and be a part of something that’s more gratifying. Join us for snacks. Bounce your way into the most cheerful day of the year with a trampoline for adults and kids. Let us together make this big day extra special full of sweetness and bouncing our way through unparalleled fun that stands apart in its own rights.
