A bit on Food and mood!!!
Did you know, that when you’re craving certain foods it may be because your body is lacking certain nutrients? I’m sure some of you already knew that though. 1/3 of your or total daily calories should be consumed at breakfast time (within 2-3 hours of waking) Did you know that 3g of fiber can be substituted for 1 serving of fruit? 1 cup of milk =9g protein, will fuel you for 2-3 hours.
Your appetite is regulated by your stomach, brain, eyes, nose, taste buds, brain chemicals and hormones. It’s best to listen to your brain and hormones. They work together to regulate your mood. keep in mind, poor food choices can leave you feeling stuffed and depressed. High carbs will help your brain chemicals, and shut down your hunger for longer. A high saturated diet can also make you feel antisocial and depressed. Eating the wrong types of foods can thro you appetite regulators off track. Some times they work together and sometimes they don’t. If your eating your meals in front of the TV, think about it. Your brain is distracted so it’s not sending your stomach the signal that it’s full.
