Your food, your mood
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Comfort foods and snacks give us a quick pick-me-up, but they often lead to a crash soon afterwards. This is especially true for those comforts high in sugar, fat or caffeine.
The link between your diet and your mood goes much deeper than the “you are what you eat” adage. In some cases, psychiatrists and dietitians recommend that patients fight depression through nutrition instead of drugs.
So the next time you feel like wallowing in a pint of ice cream, do you think you can settle for blueberries, pumpkin seeds and Vitamin D milk? Do you have the will power? What do you eat when you’re low? Is it healthy or a guilty pleasure?
