SWEETS!

What's happy? CANDY CANDY CANDY!

I did a little research and found that after eating a sugary treat, our brains release opioids natural chemicals that give our bodies a feeling of "intense pleasure".

I've been a Candy Kid for quite some time now and am ALWAYS in a better mood after a bag of Sour Patch Kids or a Butterfinger. Whether it be candy or something else, maybe something salty, pretzels maybe, I think it's important that everyone find something simple and accessible they can enjoy. Just remember, everything in moderation. The last thing you want to do is over indulge and then never want to enjoy your special treat again.

Post Script: While searching for images to add to this post it was nearly impossible to find a photo of someone eating candy or cake without a big grin across their face!
