Chocolate Can Make You Happy!

You might have heard that chocolate, because of its flavonoid content from the cocoa bean, is actually good for your heart. The extra good news is chocolate is also good for brain chemicals, especially in the production of serotonin and endorphins - both chemicals known to brighten your mood and relieve pain. Before you rush out and stock up on chocolate bars, the recommended intake to help stimulate brain chemicals is two walnut-sized pieces daily...but hey, think how munching on even two pieces of chocolate will be! More than that and you risk a rapid rise & fall of blood sugar, which will make you very crabby.
