Having a Bad Day? It Might Be Something You Didn't Eat

• Having a Bad Mood All The Time? Truely Some "Foods For Thought"..
  

• 1. Fish. Eating salmon and other fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids like mackerel and sardines stimulates serotonin production in the brain. It can help reduce aggressive and hostile behavior, including bullying and verbal abusiveness.

  2. Leafy green vegetables. Spinach and lettuce contain magnesium, a mineral with relaxing and calming effects. They're also high in folic acid, which helps prevent depression.

  3. Oranges. Irritability and fatigue are the first signs of low vitamin C intake. Vitamin C is also used to make neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. (Find out which other foods will get you energized in Simpleology 103.)

• It could also be because of addiction to refined sugar and artificial sweeters like aspartame?

• 1. Don't let yourself get too hungry. Keep yourself satisfied with low-calorie, high-volume foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  
  2. Don't overdo it. It's not necessary to remove natural sugars such as lactose or fructose from your diet. You can snack on fruit in between meals. It's refined sugar that you have to be wary of.

  3. Don't hoard sweat treats. Don't stash processed sweets in your house. Sometimes that is the only way to avoid temptation. Always have fruit on hand so that when you get hungry, you can snack on something naturally sweet.

  So, cross out "I won't eat sweets anymore" from your list of health resolutions--or you'll end up gorging on even more sugary goodies. As you'll find out in Simpleology 103, too much of anything is a bad thing
