PEA (phenylethylamine): A Sweet Pea

Fall in love, and forsake your chocolates. Whether it melts in your mouth or your heart, the neurotransmitter nicknamed PEA activates the same refreshing endorphins you experience from a box of chocolates, or the giddy high of falling in love. By increasing heart rate and blood pressure, PEA makes you buzz with energy. So does chocolate, by the way, but love is better for you. ;-)
