I could have told you that.


Notice the story on my sidebar: Research finds chocolate may improve mood.
Researchers found that those with higher-order neurotic personality and atypical depression were more likely to crave chocolate.
Oh well.

Also,
Previous studies have shown that people with atypical depression tend to crave carbohydrates.
Uh oh. Guilty as charged.

And,
One study showed that a mineral supplement known as chromium picolinate could reduce the carbohydrate cravings experienced by those with atypical depression.
Might be worth a try. I'll bet chocolate tastes better, though.

  3. Interesting. I think consumption of junk has gone way up--as I sit here drinking a Coke! So, I wouldn't be surprised if what you said is true.

  5. I do too, Jennifer. I admit to feeling better if I don't eat a lot of junk.

    I honestly think society would be healthier if we worked a long mid-day break into our schedules.

    Less caffeine--more naps!
