Food / Mood Connections... You are What you Eat and Your Stress is connected

You've heard it before but do you really get it? You should try to be open minded and make small changes. For example...You need B6, Vitamin C, Folic Acid, and Zinc because these are necessary nutrients for your brain to feel Good. These are literally good mood nutrients. They are needed to make Seratonin from tryptophan. Get these nutrients from eating Grass Fed Beef, Wild Fish and Beans.

Are you depressed? A good possibility could be the lack of Folic Acid or Selenium in your diet. There is a strong connection between too little Folic Acid and Depression. Eat these foods to help get out of your funk: Oranges, Turkey, asparagus, beets, and green leafy veggies like spinach.

Grouchy? Anxious? Out of sorts?... Hope not, but these foods can give you the Selenium boost your body may be craving: Whole Organic Grains, tomatoes, eggs, broccoli, tuna and sunflower seeds. Organic foods will give you a higher nutrient availability.

Food really affects your mood, energy and health. Think about it, if it can sit on a shelf for years at a time- what do you think it's doing in your body. Do you think you can actually pull the nutrients your body needs from boxed CRAP.

Here's today's tip: Shop the grocery store Perimeter. That's where the freshest foods are located. Buy and eat local, if possible. Make a list of fresh herbs, veggies and fruits, grains and meats or fish. Try some new recipes and experiment with foods that have 5 ingredient's or less. You will feel the difference within Days. Add more Water a day to those fresh foods and really kick start your Energy, Mood and health!!!!
