Good Food, Good Mood


Understand how food affects your moods and you will improve your physical and emotional health. Nutrition scientist discovered long ago that our moods are linked to certain brain chemicals, and they have identified many of the natural chemicals in foods that can change the way we feel.
Chill Out
If you are feeling tense try gobbling down some anti-stress nutrients found in whole grain cereals, nuts, poultry, fish and eggs.
Brain Box
If you need some extra brain power then anything whole grain – from cereals to pasta, dried beans, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables – will do the job. Their nutrients have the ability to improve thinking, learning and imagination.
Action
Get up and go with some green vegetables, peas, pumpkin or broccoli which is rich in minerals and great energizers.
Push PMS Away
Prevent those dark moods during premenstrual days and help maintain a balanced and calm mind, with calcium from diary products like milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, broccoli and dried fruits, especially figs.
Get Happy
Fight gloominess, misery and confused states of mind with a handful of green vegetables such as spinach or seafood and bananas.

I read about a natural fat replacement ingredient called Z Trim on page 90 of the book “You on a Diet” by Oprah’s doctor, Mehmet Oz. I ordered off of the Z Trim web site and have been cooking with it for a few weeks now. It works and its easy. It lowers calories by replacing portions of the oils, butter, and other fats. It also adds fiber to foods, because it basically is corn fiber made into a gel that works like fat in most cooking. They say it is undetectable, and that’s true. My cooking tastes like it always did. I’ve lost some weight, slowly. It’s a sensible approach and its natural. I eat what I want; it tastes as good as it always did, and I’m finally “right-sizing” my body. A total win-win.
