Up, Up and Away

Chocolate chip cookies are my Prozac. I love them (and they love my thighs, but that is besides the point). They make me happy. Sometimes when I am having a bad day, all I really need is a chocolate chip cookie. Today had been shaping up to not be so good. My head is stuffy (since I broke my humidifier), I didn't sleep well (since my sinuses were dry, because I broke my humidifier), and I had trouble getting to work today (since it was hard to get up, because I didn't sleep well, since my sinuses were dry, because I broke my humidifier). At 1pm, however, I finished my lunch and got to eat my chocolate chip cookie. After that it was all smooth sailing. Who knew some flour, sugar, eggs, and chocolate could be so effective at mood-elevation.

Chocolate can induce 5HT (Serotonin) release, amongst other things, which can all help improve mood. I was going to write more, and then I realized someone else probably did already:
Chocolate


Enjoy!
