Sweets

AlamyThere's a cause some of us crave gooey when we're feeling low: They're rooted in happy associations, explains Susan Bowerman"These kinds of cravings come from long-established patterns," she said, "like memories from when we were kids and were sooth with cookies or rewarded for doing well with ice cream." Tastes, and aromas that summon these good personal memories all have the importance to make us smile, and sweet treats—especially chocolate—are top happiness.
