Magic Chocolate.
what happens when you have friends who Stressed over assignments n exams, especially during this exam's peak season ??
help them study ?? no .. help them complete the assignments ?? no .. encourage them with words ?? maybe, but no words are ever powerful enough .. that left Chocolate the only choice ..
Chocolate affect the brain by causing the release of certain neurotransmitters (molecules that transmit signals between neurons). The amounts of particular neurotransmitters can have a great impact on our mood.
Happy neurotransmitters (such as endorphins) can help to reduce stress and lead to feelings of pleasure and happiness.
Chocolate affects the levels of endorphins in the brain. Eating chocolate increases the levels of endorphins released into the brain. It works to lessen pain and decrease stress.
Another common neurotransmitter affected by chocolate is serotonin. Serotonin is known as an anti-depressant.
Another unique neurotransmitters released by chocolate is phenylethylamine. It causes changes in blood pressure and blood-sugar levels leading to feelings of excitement and alertness. It increase mood and decrease depression, but it does not result in addiction.
Phenylethylamine is also called the "love drug" because it causes your pulse rate to quicken, resulting in a similar feeling to when someone is in love.
so what are you waiting for ?? go get them some Chocolate to make their day Magical !! *waving the mystical wand*

One way to deal with stress is to look at it from a different perspective perhaps.
Easier said than done, hah! :D
I also eat chocolate when I'm not in good mood >.>
ReplyDeleteBut then, studying for exam is not stressful to me >.<
喔喔,好可爱的巧克力,可是我并不爱吃。
ReplyDeleteakira: 我也是挺喜欢巧克力耶,但偏爱黑的(Dark chocolate)。但是全根据我的情绪决定,多数是偏好咸的食品、有时才是甜的,呵呵
ReplyDeletedeimos tel`arin: don't get me wrong when i say it can destress, i didn't exactly meant eating it for all meals. XD in fact, All Food can't be eaten to the extreme. i just meant chocolate has the similar effect (without resulting to addiction like coffee or cigarettes).
elezend: "studying for exam is not stressful". wow, you must have prepared very well before time. *amazed* :D
linqian: 有原因不喜欢吗?很难才找到一个呢!*好奇*
