What side of the bed did you wake up on this morning? Not the happy, energized one? Better check your diet.
It seems too simple, really, but the way you eat can have a huge impact on your mood.
Carbs, sugar, fat--taste sooo good and they make us happy when eating them. I'm sure that's why Mickey D's patented the kid favorite "Happy Meal." But what happens after?
The crash!
Most of our favorite indulgences have way too much of the bad stuff and not enough nutrition to keep us going for very long. When it comes to sustaining energy, junk food just doesn't do it. Not to mention that studies have shown that people who eat high fat diets (like stopping at a fast food joint every night after work) have higher chance of being depressed. The scientists are believe that there is a strong correlation between high fat diets and depression.
Instead, choose a balanced diet for energy and happiness! Green veggies like spinach, plus lean meats, seafood and bananas have magnesium which can help you stay focused and fight gloominess. The spinach and other green vegetables like peas and broccoli also have iron which combat anemia which can cause fatigue, especially in women!
