Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take a bite of chocolate. Eat hot peppers. Have some comfort food. Take ginseng. Smell vanilla extract.

Answer: Have you ever noticed how eating chocolate seems to give you a mood boost when you’re feeling a little low? That’s because it releases endorphins that help you relax. Chocolate also contains the endocannabinoid anandamide, which mimics the effects of marijuana, although the effect of chocolate is nowhere near as extreme.  Choose dark chocolate, since it contains more actual chocolate and less sugar and other fillers that don't affect your endorphins. Give in to your cravings in small doses. Consider taking a chocolate bar with you and having a square when you need a boost. Cayenne peppers, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, and other hot peppers contain capsaicin, which releases endorphins. Try eating a piece of raw pepper. When the initial fiery pain subsides, you should feel euphoria. If you don't want to have to deal with the pain to reap the pleasure of capsaicin, sprinkle a little cayenne pepper on your food for a milder boost in mood. Helping yourself to a bowl of pasta with cheese, ice cream or another carbohydrate-rich comfort food releases endorphins. People turn to these items during stressful moments because they really do make you feel better.  You can enjoy comfort food without going off your diet. Try a bowl of old-fashioned oatmeal with a little honey and milk stirred in, or a plate of red beans and rice. You'll benefit from the carbohydrates without suffering from the consequences of eating refined carbohydrates. To elevate your mood even more, try pairing two endorphin stimulators together. Put some chocolate chips in your oatmeal, or add hot cayenne to your dish of pasta. This herb has been shown to enhance the production of endorphins. It's a popular choice among athletes who want to make the most of the endorphins their bodies already release during exercise. Try incorporating a ginseng supplement into your daily routine. The scent of vanilla has been shown to stimulate the production of endorphins. Try adding a drop to your coffee, or stirring some into your yogurt. It's the smell, not the taste, that affects your endorphins, so be sure to take a deep whiff.  You can get the same benefits from smelling a vanilla-scented candle, lotion or essential oil. Lavender has similar properties and is also shown to stimulate endorphin production.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine how he likes to receive affection. Give him a letter or card. Talk to him in person. Show him you love him through your actions.

Answer:
If you love him, you have probably shared your feelings and other personal information with him before. What settings worked best when you communicated this information. Was it over the phone or a text message? Was it during a romantic date night? Do you two prefer to have more casual, natural conversations?  There is no right or wrong way to tell him that you love him. You are less likely to scare him if you use a method that he is receptive to. If you are nervous about talking to him in person, consider giving him a card or a letter that expresses how you feel. This will also give him time to digest what you have said and think about his feelings for you. If you are nervous about telling him or worried that you may clam up during the conversation, this is a good way to tell him.  A card is really helpful if you do not know what to say. You can even choose a more humorous card to keep it light and still get your point across. You could also find a poem or song that says what you would like to say and rewrite it in your handwriting. Telling him face-to-face is the most romantic, yet nerve-racking way. Verbally expressing your true feelings forces you to be vulnerable. Your man may even be more attracted to you when you show him who you really are and how you really feel.  If you go this route, practice saying "I love you" out loud and in front of a mirror. You could also make a video that tells him how you feel. You can make sure that you tell him everything that you want to say without getting too nervous. If you mess up, you can always make another video. Love is more than a feeling. Your words and actions should match. Before you tell him that you love, your actions should already be saying that you do.   Do something nice like cook him is favorite meal or surprise him with tickets to a movie that he wanted to see. Be present during good and bad times. While it’s easy to be supportive during happy times, you can really show your love when he’s down in the dumps.  Whether he’s had a bad day at work or is dealing with a family health crisis, be his rock and show him you are on his side 24/7. Support his passions and dreams.  From going for a master’s degree to his love of mountain climbing, be his cheerleader. Research his hobbies or goals and bring additional insight to the table.
