Crazy facts! Drink any (or all) of these drinks to help you calm down! 1. Drink a glass of milk. It contains tryptophan (<- FANCY WORD!) , which as it is metabolized is converted to mood-boosting serotonin. Plus, its calcium (<-STRONG BONES), magnesium and potassium content may help keep blood pressure down.
2. Drink hot cocoa. Warm drinks raise your body temperature (<- HAWT)—a feeling we associate with comfort, so it triggers a similar response in our brains.
3. Order black tea instead of coffee. A study by University College London shows that drinking black tea four times a day for six weeks lowered the stress hormone cortisol after a stressful event. (I WOULD...BUT IT JUST KIND OF SOUNDS GROSS)
4. Drink green tea—packed with theanine, which increases the brain’s output of relaxation-inducing alpha waves and reduces the output of tension-making beta waves. (BUT IT DOESN'T GO WITH OREOS...OR MARSHMALLOWS)
5. Drink a glass of cold water, then go for a walk outside. The water gets your blood moving and the air invigorates by stimulating the endorphins that de-stress you. (WOAH...TWO PART DE-STRESS, I THINK I'LL SKIP THE WALK, THANKS!)

Hahaha Channon, I am sorry that they are prescribing things like walks for you. They obviously don't know you all that well over at Reader's Digest...
