Change Your Diet; Change Your Mood
It has been well documented that eating right can help you lose weight and enhance your health, but does it also boost your mood and ease depression? That’s what respected nutritionist and author, Dr. Susan Keiner, suggests.
Dr. Kleiner’s book, The Good Mood Diet
- Milk raises serotonin levels, helping you relax
- Broccoli and blueberries can increase energy and happy feelings
- Turkey reduces anxiety
- Regular intake of fish oils can lower anger in aggressive adults (no more anger management courses required)
- Egg yolks are high in a substance that enables nutrients into the brain and toxins out of the body
- Bananas reduce blood pressure
By simply changing how you eat, you can improve your energy level, attitude and mood. Eating the right foods can even impact how you handle stress.
In my own life, this rings true. When I am eating healthy, I have more energy and my digestion issues cease. When I fall back into the dark pit eating junk food and fast food, the issues return — almost immediately. By simply watching what I eat, I can significantly impact my health — and my mood. Amazing, huh?
Never before has the saying been more true…you are what you eat. I wish I had realized this truth a few years ago.
