Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or more can give you plenty of health benefits, not the least of which is stimulating endorphin release and reducing stress.

Endorphins are also released as a result of physical activity. Even if you can’t go for a run or visit the gym, doing some simple stretches should do the trick.
