SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST
Chocolate • We don’t know what makes us happier: Knowing that a little red wine is good for the heart, or that a little chocolate is good for our mood. Chocolate causes the brain to release endorphins, which boost serotonin levels and in turn elevate our mood. Oh, and it tastes good, too! Stick to at least 70% dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate in order to reap the maximum benefits, and don’t overdo it—you don’t want to eat too much of a good thing!
