The food and mood connection

I meant food-mind, or should I say food-mood-mind!

Body-mind connection is what brought us all here, right? So, I'm thinking the same principle with mood-mind is applied. But I'm not sure I can explain it correctly!

Hi Members,
 
I wanted to share an article I recently read called. “The food and mood connection.” The article discussed how the food we consume affects our mood. The authors state that food rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, low glycemic foods, and chocolate have all been associated with improved moods. In addition, the authors note “Combining food such as carbohydrates and protein increases the level of serotonin in your brain.” (Nelson and Zeratsky, 2009). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in your brain, which are chemicals released in your brain and it is associated with calm moods.


The article is talking about a connection between the body and mind. Though the two were once regarded as independent from each other in the medical community, many people believe that two are interdependent. If we consume foods that are good for us, we experience positive physical effects. If we feel physically well, we are better able to deal with challenges. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and vise versa.


Members, what are your thoughts on the body-mind connection?
 
Health, Educator
