According to this diet, when we eat healthy food, we feel much better. Although a good mood can be related to certain products, partly it is a psychological thing. Some dietary adjustments can in fact reflect in our skin: acne can decrease, signs of age can fade, etc. These things can in fact improve our mood.
Nutrition guru Andrew Weil claims that certain products can improve both your shape and positively affect your mood. He provides a few tips that should help to improve your mood:
- Replace your coffee with tea. Try drinking only high quality tea, preferably green, white or oolong tea.
- Use more herbs when you cook, especially turmeric. Try pairing it with black pepper as it helps to absorb curcumin which is found in turmeric and which works as antidepressant.
- Do not avoid fat and carbohydrates. Try to keep them in each of your meals. However, this does not mean that you have to cram cookies! Choose whole grain products, replace butter and sour cream with olive oil, avocados and nuts.
- Try to get most of the protein from beans, fish, cheese and yogurt. Animal protein, according to the doctor A.Weil may cause allergies or autoimmune diseases.
- Complement your diet with vitamins C and E, selenium and carotenoids.
