Good Mood

Relationship Between Food & Mood
to maintain an optimal mental response , the brain needs optimal nutrition
According to the
Institute of National
Health, approximately
14.8 million American
adults are affected by
mood fluctuations.
When we’re stressed, we often reach for fast foods that are high in refined ingredients (white flour, high fructose corn syrup, etc.)
and low in essential nutrients. Eating these foods can cause a rollercoaster effect. This causes you to “crash” later
and repeat the cycle. While we’re just beginning to understand the exact mechanisms of how diet affects mood,
we do know that what we eat and how we eat is associated with our emotional well-being.
Calming Foods
Renew Your Sense of Mental Well-Being
To get off the rollercoaster diet, focus on adding foods
that have a calming effect on the body.
