How Food Affects your Mood

How Food Affects your Mood

Drinking lots of coffee, eating refined sugars (white sugar) and refined carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, rice, cakes etc.) and eating meal after meal of processed, chemical-laden “food like substances”. You can check out the video recipes online at Gourmandia to know more.

Stick to eating a predominantly plant-based whole foods diet. Get stuck into organic fruits, green leafy vegetables, sweet vegetables, root vegetables and whole grains, and indulge in natural sweeteners. Depending on how well it functions, your body may also do well with the inclusion of organic apple cider vinegar, and supplements like probiotics and 

digestive enzymes.

 Your adrenal glands are super important for a healthy immune system. Hormonal imbalance can also be caused by a toxic liver, poor digestion, insulin resistance, hidden inflammation, and vitamin, mineral, protein and fatty acid deficiencies. Complex, independent nervous system lines the gastrointestinal tract that is often overlooked, but could have a lot to answer for when it comes to our moods. Especially when you consider that pretty much all of our nutrients are absorbed by our bodies through our intestinal tract. There is a big difference between eating a meal of fresh, organic plants and whole grains to eating a plate full of dead, processed and chemicalized food. The latter is going to do nothing for your body besides contribute to toxicity and deficiency, while the former will contribute to health and vitality. Reason why we crave warm, hearty foods in winter and more light, cool foods in summer. Our bodies are a part of nature, and they evolve with the natural laws of the environment. Eat more cooling fruits and lighter greens in summer, when they are in season, and heartier veggies like carrots and squashes in winter to add warmth to your body.
