Chocolate as an Antidepressant.

Here's a tidbit that may lift your day.

"Prone to irritability and worrying about rejection? If so, new research suggests a bar of chocolate could lift your mood and calm you down.

While you may be using chocolate as an energy booster, a study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry has found a link between chocolate cravings and personality.

Results suggest certain personality types are not only more likely to crave chocolate, but it may also improve their mood.

Researchers from the Black Dog Institute correlated results from an online survey completed by nearly 3,000 people. Of the respondees, 54 percent reported food cravings when depressed, of which 45 percent specifically wanted chocolate and 61 percent of these said chocolate improved their mood."
