Eat a piece of dark chocolate
For all the chocolate lovers, here’s another reason to enjoy a piece. Research suggests that even a small square of chocolate may be enough to induce positive effects on your mood (just hearing that boosts my mood!). But before reaching for just any chocolate bar, keep in mind that evidence shows the greatest benefits come from dark chocolate containing at least 70 percent cacao solids. Evidence also suggests that the experience of eating the chocolate matters: you must enjoy the piece for mood improvements to occur. So, if you enjoy eating chocolate, then you’ll enjoy the mood-boosting effects it brings!
