Dark chocolate: There’s a reason why we’re drawn to chocolate when we’re feeling down. Dark chocolate has a couple of strong mood-boosting compounds in it (theobromine and phenylethyamine) that can lift your spirits on a gloomy day. Eating an ounce of dark chocolate (think a serving size of roughly 6 Hershey Kisses) a day can lower stress hormone levels that lead to high anxiety, too! Chocolate only counts as a health food in small amounts and it needs to be at least 70% cocoa (preferably organic) in order to be considered good for you! Are you into dark chocolate?
