Stress reducer... I think yes!

Dark chocolate



A 2009 study in ACS' Journal of Proteome Research found that consuming about one and a half ounces of dark chocolate a day for two weeks reduced levels of stress hormones in highly stressed subjects. Keep in mind that chocolate is high in calories and fat, so be mindful of portion size (one and a half ounces has about 230 calories and 13 grams of fat).

I buy the dove dark chocolate. I love that it has 6 or 7 small squares. I just eat one a day and it is perfect. Now, if Rick finds the bar, that is a whole different story. He cannot eat just one a day.
