It's no secret that some food makes us feel happier than others, after all if food didn't tick some boxes there would be no need for the term comfort food. Food a necessary comodity has evolved in a society that has more money into more choice. The latest invention, happy crisps containing St. John's wort, a known natural treatment for depression, but other foods do carry your happy endorphins up a level.
Chocolate, now good news for those with a sweet tooth, how many times have you heard that chocolate is as good as sex, well that's the happy trigger that chocolate and sex bring. On a scale of 5, you'll be pleased to know chocolate scores top at 5.
Strawberries, slightly healthier option, nice sweet fresh strawberries comes in at 4 out of 5, so pretty good too.
Ice-cream, conjures up pictures of a tub and a spoon and a cosy night in, picture Bridget Jones and comfort food, it does of course contain milk and vitamins, so not so mega unhealthy and also scroes 4 out of 5.
Bananas, a nice healthy option too, mashed bananas to release all the goodness and make them easier to digest, was often used as a comfort food and for convalesence during war time. Scores a good 3 out of 5.
Of course for foodies like me the whole lot in a bowl together sound extra yummy, which one is your comfort food, or would you like to know how your favourite scores?
