Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones that affect
your feelings and behavior by making you happy. Therefore, it counteracts
depression, in turn reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life
helps you maintain a youthful disposition, both physically and mentally.
So, eat lots of chocolate!
