Mood Foods

Both research and experience are proving that there is a connection between how we eat and how we think and act. The neurotransmitters, the messengers which relay thoughts and actions along the many neural pathways of the brain and it appears logically that food would affect our moods. Each and every one of reacts differently. Carbs calm, foods of low glycemic index such as vegetables, unrefined grains, and fruit are also calming. Milk and yogurt are also calming. Encourage grazing for snacks. Perk up your proteins as they provide the amino acids from which the neural transmitters are made. It all depends on ratio of protein to carbohydrate and ratio of amino acids to tryptophan-seafood will likely jump start the brain. It's all comes down to moderation and  the right balance. Breakfast does set the pattern for eating throughout the rest of the day.
Care and Beware !
