2. Dark Chocolate
Research points to stress-relieving properties of dark chocolate that go beyond the taste buds. In a large German study, those who ate the most dark chocolate over ten years had lower blood pressure than those who ate the least. Another study showed a reduction in a stress hormone in people who ate dark chocolate often. Alas, dark chocolate still has “not-so-good-for-you fat, sugar, and calories,” registered dietitian Kathleen M. Zelman reminds us, so stick to a few small squares a day.
2.黑巧克力
研究表明黑巧克力不仅味道美，缓解压力的能力更胜一筹。 在德国进行的一项规模较大的研究中，十年内吃巧克力最多的人比最少的血压要低。还有一项研究表明，经常吃黑巧克力的人体内的压力荷尔蒙会减少。 注册营养家凯瑟琳·利尔曼提醒我们，黑巧克力 “对人的脂肪、糖分和热量来说都不是很好”，所以每天坚持吃几小块就行。
