What if you discovered that the best place to
begin your personal pursuit of happiness was at the end of your fork? Well,
prepare to polish your silverware. Emerging research from the fields of
neuroscience and nutrition reveals that you can stabilize your mood, improve
your concentration, boost your brain health and trim your tummy—simply by
changing the foods you eat. Why not… what do you have to loose, right?!
Food 1. Eggs – has B12, which is crucial for
nerve cells. A B12 deficiency causes irritability, depression and cognitive
decline. Then folate and iodine would be another plus, as it’s essential for
good thyroid function – and an under-active thyroid leads to
lethargy, weight gain and mood disorders. Vitamin D levels are linked to
depression and dementia. This is just a partial profile of a standard egg,
nutritional powerhouse.
Food 2. Caffeine – causes a rise in dopamine,
which is how it boosts confidence, focus and mood. Coffee and green teas are
excellent choices. I prefer green tea based on the alkalizing affects. Coffee
contains two phytonutrients that function like a class of antidepressants
called monoamine-oxidase inhibitors.
Food 3. Wild Salmon – everyone for every
illness, condition… have been big proponents of this fish.. eat up! It’s an
essential element for happiness. Studies have show that people who live in
countries with the highest rates of fish consumption enjoy the lowest rates of
depression, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression and seasonal affect
disorders… as well as optimal brain function and fat loss. In 2008, researchers
found that, in some patients, fish oil can be as potent as Prozac at treating
clinical depression.
Food 4. Chilies – they contain a fat-soluble
molecule called capsaicin. Our brains are loaded with receptors for capsaicin,
which they respond to by releasing endorphins, hormones that have a calming
effect while they help raise metabolism and burn calories.
Food 5. Walnuts – it is Mother Nature’s very own
multivitamin;: it conations a wealth of trace minerals, macronutrients and
vitamins, including omega 3-fats, vitamin E and other B vitamins. Patients
suffering from clinical depression often have low levels of vitamin E in their
blood.
Trick Tip 1. Eat Protein before and with all
carbs – Protein is the most satiating of all nutrients, according to the May
2008 issue of the “American Journal of Clinical nutrition,” and including a
source of protein at each of your meals and snacks can help you eat FEWER
CARBOHYDRATES and better control your blood sugar levels. If you have weight to
release, diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues, eating hour proteins with a
carb can help you feel more satisfied and lose weight without feeling hungry.
FANTASTIC!
RECIPE IDEA – here is how to get 3 of these
foods in one dish: make egg salad with chilies, crushed walnuts, olive oil and
dash mustard. Done!
