As you gear up for the holidays, or if you’ve already indulged in more Hanukkah gelt than planned (no judgment here!), this recent study brings a delightful twist to the season. It’s like the sweet melody of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” but in the form of a chocolate bar – because, as it turns out, moderate cocoa consumption can be a natural antidepressant for the human brain, releasing serotonin and triggering those festive endorphins.
This research unveils that amidst the holiday hustle, chocolate might just be your ally in alleviating stress and boosting mood. With 3.5% of the global population facing depression and anxiety, the demand for chocolate-based products might skyrocket, offering a scrumptious alternative to cortisol-laden stress.
