Happy Food for Thought

Happy Food for Thought 1

In a stressful age where everyone wants instant gratification to save time and effort, it feels only natural to grab a cheap burger and a bucket-sized portion of French fries.

What we eat not only affects our number on the scale, but our overall health, mood and complete appearance. What goes inside your body radiates outward, why not make solid food choices from all food groups?

Organic Healthy Eating says after only a week of eating better, we will see a positive life change.

With all of life’s challenges, here are some foods that can keep you healthy and happy.

Fish

Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines contain Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins B6 and B12. Omega-3s not only keep your heart, brain and reproductive system healthy, to list a few of their health benefits. They improve the appearance of skin and hair and help in weight loss. Like B vitamins, Omega 3s release serotonin.

Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, sunflower seeds and hazelnuts contain Vitamin E. According to Nutritionexpress.com Vitamin E improves circulation for those with high blood pressure. These foods will reduce stress levels and allow you to manage problems and maintain happiness.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates have a reputation for weight gain. However they are necessary for a balanced diet and the release of serotonin. For the weight conscious, carbs actually help us lose weight.
