Women can attest to the positive effects of chocolate upon our mood. According to an MIT study,
"snacking on readily digested carbohydrates, such as those in a cookie or bagel, can raise the brain's level of the chemical serotonin, the very same target of modern antidepressant medication."
Including protein with every meal, and small snacks in between, can help lift your mood by increasing your serotonin levels.

hehe...especially if they have dark chocolate chips.
I'm lactose intolerant, but I still like ice cream. My current favorite is B&J's Chunky Monkey, yum! Bananas - one of these days, I'll have to tell you a story about the BMC bananas. :)

Well sort of. If you're looking for that warm and fuzzy feeling ...other good mood foods are dairy products, oats, bananas, poultry and peanuts. Great story. Thanks.
