YSK cacao may be stimulating like coffee.
Cacao contains **Theobromine** which acts similarly to caffeine, acting as a stimulant but more gently and longer-lasting than caffeine. Cacao also surprisingly contains caffeine although in a smaller rate.
**Why YSK**: it’s not just coffee that acts as a stimulant but many other drinks and foods have stimulating components that you might not know of. Black tea in ice tea, matcha, gaurana, even dark chocolate. If you react sensitive to stimulants it’s good to know all the different types besides caffeine.
I personally realized this after eating dark chocolate in the evening and drinking cacao. Even though I used it as a warm drink to wind down, I noticed that I felt „up“ from it and that it disrupted my sleep.
I finally also switched my morning coffee to matcha which gives you more a „laser focus“ kind of energy.
Hope this helps!
