The great news is that chocolate contains the mood-boosting compounds, theobromine and phenylethylamine. Studies have shown that the added antioxidants in dark chocolate help to reduce our stress hormone cortisol, especially in people with increased levels of anxiety.
To avoid the sugar, opt for an 85 per cent dark chocolate and limit your intake to once or twice a week.
