Prone to irritability and worrying about rejection? Try chocolate.

Posted by kathryn in Uncategorized

A quick link over to my latest post at Diet-Blog: Chocolate the new antidepressant.

New research from the Black Dog Institute, here in Australia, has found a link between chocolate cravings and certain personality types. If you’re prone to irritability and worrying about rejection, then not only are you more likely to crave chocolate, but it may actually improve your mood.

I’ve blogged about the health benefits or otherwise, of chocolate before. For more information on this latest study, take a look at the post on Diet-Blog by clicking here.

I thought people might be excited by this one! I can hear my cries of “moderation” being deafened by the sound of chocolate wrappers being opened.

Keep these chocolate posts coming. This is a great justification to expand my chocolate budget!
