While we know bad moods can lead to bad eating habits; it’s also true that bad eating habits can lead to bad moods.
Food can impact our moods because of two factors. First, the nutrients are the building blocks for everything in our body, including mood-regulating “neurotransmitters.” Second, what we eat affects our blood sugar levels, which also impact our moods.
There is a list of common healthy foods that have positive impacts on our mood. But some junky ones make us feel better sometimes too. Once we see this is as temporary (industry engineers processed food is designed to hit those “pleasure centers”), we can ditch those.
Plus, I have a super-easy dessert or snack recipe for you too. Especially if you crave the mood boost from sweets.
