Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released by your nerves that transmit important messages from one cell to another. They affect your mood ,the way you think and even the way you sleep. For example, there has recently been a lot of buzz about the health benefits of dark chocolate. Not only can foods help or harm your brain and your mental health, but certain kinds of vitamins too.
