😌Feeling Stressed? Pizza Might Be the Cure!

Let’s be real—life can be a lot. Whether it’s bills piling up or your brain melting from work or school stress, we all need a little relief. And guess what? Science just gave us the tastiest excuse to chill out: pizza. 🍕

Yep, according to a new study out of the University of East Anglia in England, just smelling a fresh, hot pizza can seriously boost your mood and ease stress. No need to even take a bite (though we totally support that too 😋).

Here’s the breakdown:

• 42% of people in the study said the smell made them feel comforted 🥰
• 28% felt a legit mood lift 😄
• And 17% got that giddy “OMG pizza’s coming!” excitement 🤩

So what’s going on here? It’s all thanks to your brain’s limbic system—the part that handles emotions and memories. When you catch a whiff of that cheesy, doughy goodness, it kicks off a feel-good hormone party with serotonin and dopamine. 🎉🧠

Bottom line: next time you’re feeling frazzled, maybe skip the stress scroll and head to your favorite pizza spot. Even if you’re just walking by, your nose might thank you. 🍕💕
