DARK CHOCOLATE MAY LOWER EMOTIONAL STRESS
 
Why do some people crave chocolate when they are feeling overwhelmed? There is scientific evidence that dark chocolate may lower emotional stress, according to a study published in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Proteome Research.
 
Specifically, researchers found that eating 40 grams (1.4 ounces) of dark chocolate a day for two weeks reduced levels of stress hormones in people who reported being highly stressed. Eating dark chocolate also partially corrected other stress-related biochemical imbalances.

This is a nice little research study confirming some good advice.  In additon to chocolate, we could also benefit from Pantothenic Acid for stress levels and good old chiropractic care.   Obviously if our system is stressed it doesn't function as well.  Especially during the holidays remember three things:  

Dark Chocolate...in moderation

Vitamin B5 or Pantothenic Acid

Spine Optimization
