Savory Stress Reliever

Midterms are right around the corner and don't get twisted up like a pretzel from all that stress...just eat one instead! Pretzels are a way to relieve unwanted stress! Eating carbohydrate-rich foods gives you a boost of energy and triggers the brain to release a chemical called serotonin - a feel-good chemical to punch out the stress! Be careful not to eat too many though unless you're trying to head to the gym with that extra energy. Put a good sized handful in a bowl and eat those instead of just eating out of the bag. You'll end up eating more than planned that way since you're just snacking and all. About 17 Rold Gold pretzels are only 110 calories so consider them a healthy stress reliever :) Stay chill by enjoying the savory snack!
