Have a Cup of Happiness

"You know that drinking tea soothes you- turns out it helps
up your bliss, too. There is evidence that chemicals in tea, as
well as berries and chocolate, could be mood enhancers, says
Karina Martinez-Mayorga, PhD, lead researcher in a recent study
at the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies in Florida. The
new findings suggest that flavor compounds in many foods bear a
strong chemical resemblance to a mood-stabilizing drug called
valproic acid- and they may actually have similar effects. Cozy
up with a mug of your favorite green or black brew (both also
contain L-theanine, a chemical known to relax the mind) and you
might just get a little happiness boost."
