How Food Affects Your Mind - Improve Your Mood With Food

Until my mid-thirties, I had uncontrollable mood swings.

Anything little thing could tick me off and put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day- i.e.: sitting in traffic…the store being out of my favorite coffee creamer…a bad hair day…Anything!

And this daily emotional roller coaster caused me to want to go home and eat a tub of ice cream every night.

.

But once I was pretty much forced to change my eating habits because of my gestational diabetes, I noticed a number of other symptoms improve…one of them being my mood.

What I finally realized is👉one of the reasons I craved sweets was because sugar is a comfort food.

Comfort foods are called comfort foods for a reason➡️They provide us comfort by triggering the release of dopamine, a feel-good hormone.

.

.

Without knowing it, I was stuck in this cycle of unpredictable emotions, craving sugar, followed by more unpredictable emotions.

Sound familiar?

.

In today’s video, I explain the link between food and mood, as well as give you the foods you should add to your diet to improve your mood and even your mental health.

Did the information I shared today make you think differently about how you’ve been approaching your mental health?
