HEALTHY EATING
WE OFTEN FIND food as our companion in our happy and hard times. We always turn to food whenever something happens. This list brings you foods to eat and to avoid according to your mood
We all have ups and downs in our lives that affect our mood. There are days when we are at our best and then there are days where we question everything. We shouldn't binge eat any item which might lead to problems in our body The sad mood: When you turn sad no matter the reason, you might turn to any food to enhance your mood but that's wrong! Instead of all the junk opt for Whole Grain Cereal with Low Fat Milk. This will boost your mood as it contains Vitamin D. This vitamin enables the body to maintain a stable mood.
When you are overworking: There might be some days where the work might be stress. Keep a bar of dark chocolate by your side. Have a bite every time you feel sad as it has the power to lower the stress hormones which further reduces anxiety.
When you are too tired: Maybe you didn't have a good night's sleep and now you are just sleepy and can doze off any second? In such a situation, don't go for a cup of coffee, rather go for a Spinach Salad. The spinach leaves have Folic Acid which helps the body to proves and lower levels of homocysteine.

Soda drinks: Be it every food item or a party, nothing is complete without a glass of soft drink.

Sugar might provide instant energy but once it crashes, the blood sugar level loses control in turn affecting our energy level and our mood.
Dried fruits: Dried fruits only contain sugar in high amounts. Eating more of these would only result in a high intake of sugar. They cause a disturbance in the body if eaten in large quantity.
Salted peanuts: Many of us love to have these crunchy and salty peanuts. These munchies contain a high amount of MSG. This affects our mood and leaves us feeling weak, fatigued and depressed.
