It has to be said sometimes that we often very
rarely think about the connection between foods and our moods
it doesn't really matter, whether you're feeling happy depressed,
anxious, you may tend to think that you are just this way
and think nothing else of it.
But what if all along you could have been eating the wrong
foods which were in actual fact making you feel the way you
are feeling or not as the case maybe. |
The problem is these days that food is available in such abundance
and packaged in so many different ways, we may or may not even realise
what we are actually eating, such is the power of marketing these
days everyone likes to tell you what you are eating is healthy,
when nothing could be further from the truth let's take for instance
ready meals the ones you can either cook in the oven or the microwave,
these are a great time savers for busy people but the packaging
tends to sell the product and sometimes the consumer may be misled
as to what they are actually buying, it may say on it low-fat for
instance but may have large quantities of salt and sugar to compensate
for this so in actual fact you're not buying anything that is healthy
at all far from it.
A study was done recently on television
whereby two families swapped eating habits for a month, to
see how it would affect them one family ate freshly prepared
food while the other family ate,
supermarket ready meals, after the trial was over they were
asked how they felt and also various medical tests were done
to see how their health had changed during the trial period,
the family that ate the ready meals whose health

was checked before and after the experiment their health improved
due to switching to fresh food, while the other family who switched
to eating ready meals now had the problems of high blood pressure,
raised levels of cholesterol slight liver damage due to the amount
of fat in the diet, said they had no energy didn't feel like doing
much at all, one of their sons wasn't able to do as much running
as he could before and didn't feel too good at all.
So there is a direct link between how you're feeling and what you're
eating hence the saying you are what you eat. Eating foods that
contain refined sugar in them as well as, carbohydrates will tend
to make you feel quite relaxed.
