Edible Emotions

Cravings… you’ve had them, right? All you want to eat is something “crunchy & salty” or “soft & sweet”.  Just like your mood makes you crave certain foods, what you eat can also affect your mood! Eating foods that are high in carbs (think sugar and chocolate) raise the chemicals in your brain that make you happy!

Tyra:
“I have SUCH a sweet tooth for frozen yogurt! I always seem to feel happier after I finish off a small bowl (gotta keep that boo-T in shape). Heather taught me that there really is such a thing as a sugar high! Just watch out that you don’t over-indulge!”


Foods that are rich in folates and omega-3 fatty acids can help to prevent and control depression. Here’s a handy list of foods that may help you turn that frown upside down:

•    Whole-grain breakfast cereals
•    Lentils
•    Asparagus
•    Spinach
•    Beans
•    Tomato juice
•    Broccoli
•    Salmon
•    Tuna
•    Flax seeds


Beyond watching what you eat, exercise is another great way to help lift your mood. Aerobic exercise can instantly take you from a hater to a lover! EXTRA BONUS: not only will exercise help you feel better - you’ll look better too! Now that’s Beauty Inside and Out!

Stay Fiercely Healthy!

I love to eat chocolate. I am a big fan of any desert that have chocolate on it, in it , around it etc. I do realize that it could increase my sugar level and break outs on my face so I do try to stay away from chocolate as much as possible. It is hard but like you say it is what you learn and gain then what you loose. Thank you for your inspiring thoughts.
