Six Foods To Help You Feel Better...
Dear Reader,
If you're struggling with feeling down or more irritable than you'd like, it might be time to think about what you're putting into your body in terms of food and drink. Experts in nutrition say that what we're eating can have a positive, or negative, effect on our mood over both the short and long term.
It makes sense... keeping blood sugar steady and your gastrointestinal (GI) tract running smoothly will certainly help you feel great and full of energy.
Blood sugar that's hitting highs and lows makes you more likely to feel bad... out of sorts... grumpy and uncomfortable.
When your digestive system is stressed, either because you're withholding food by following a fad diet, or not getting enough water and fiber to keep things running smoothly, you can't be at your best.
Making changes to support your body are the best things you can do to improve your mood.
Starting with a heart healthy diet, one that's loaded with fiber but low in saturated fat is a totally natural way to boost mood according to Diane M. Becker, MPH, ScD of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Not so sure?
Think about how you feel after eating a high fat, high glycemic load meal... you're bloated and uncomfortable, and all you really want to do is sleep.
Here are suggestions for foods that are known to help your mood:
1. Eat foods rich in B12 and folic acid - as these two vitamins appear to help prevent problems with the central nervous system, mood disorders and dementia according to Edward Reynolds from King's College, London. Folic acid is in beans and greens; B12 comes in meats, fish, poultry and dairy.
2. Enjoy lots of fruits and veggies - one study found that eating two added servings of these foods a day was linked to an 11% higher likelihood of good health. Those who ate the highest amount of fruits and veggies felt better about their health. Both are packed with nutrients and antioxidant phytochemicals that have been linked time and time again with health and quality of life.
3. Eat selenium rich foods - in whole grains like oatmeal, whole grain bread and brown rice, this mineral acts like an antioxidant inside the body, and research suggests that the presence of oxidative stress in the brain is linked to some cases of depression in the elderly. One study found that in the elderly, taking selenium supplements brought significant decreases in depression. Do what you can to get the recommended daily allowance of this nutrient, 55 micrograms a day for adults.
4. Eat fish - there have been several recent studies that find adults have a lower risk of depression if they eat fish, especially fatty kinds like salmon, also known to be full of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish seems to have positive effects on clinically defined mood disorders (postpartum depression is an example) according to Jay Whelan, PhD the head of the department of nutrition at the University of Tennessee. Try herring, rainbow trout, salmon, sardines or tuna.
5. Get your daily vitamin D - very few foods naturally contain vitamin D (salmon, tuna and mackerel, beef liver, cheese, egg yolks), but there are fortified foods like breakfast cereals, breads, juice and milk. You can get vitamin D naturally from a few minutes of exposure to sunlight during off-peak hours or with supplements. Four recent studies showed a link between low serum levels of vitamin D and higher incidences of PMS, seasonal affective disorder, nonspecific mood disorder and major depressive disorder. You'll want to get at least 1,000 to 2,000 IUs of vitamin D each day.
6. Enjoy 1 ounce of chocolate - a small amount can give you a lift as it has an effect on the levels of brain endorphins, and it has also been shown to have an anti-clogging effect on blood vessels. A study in the Netherlands found those who ate 1/3 of a chocolate bar per day had lower blood pressure and rates of heart disease, and had a higher sense of well being.
Just as eating the right things can help you feel better, taking in too many
of the wrong things are well known to cause you problems. Try to avoid the following
items...
Foods high in saturated fat - they're yummy, but new research shows this might play a role in depression, a recent study found that a cut in saturated fat over 6 weeks was linked to a decrease in feelings of depression.
