Lift low spirits with nutritious foods!
Add Omega-3's, folic acid, B-12 and other nutrients to your diet and supplement plan to boost your mood
Even the most optimistic person gets blue from time to time. The good news is if you do feel down in the dumps, you can do something about it.
Healthy foods can be your solution to low-down days. Skip comfort foods that are filled with sugar and unhealthy fats in favor of nutritious meals and snacks.
Help create an outstanding mood with these delicious and healthy food choices. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: salmon, nuts Our brains are about 60% fat; and our moods are controlled by our brains. Knowing this, healthy fats must be a regular part of your diet if you want to help keep your spirits high.
In addition to nourishing the brain, Omega-3 fatty acids help keep the cardiovascular system running smoothly and joints lubricated. You can find them in salmon, nuts and in TriVita's OmegaPrime.
Folic acid and B-12: fortified whole grains (folate), shellfish, salmon and lean beef (B-12) These two B-vitamins may be used to help our bodies create serotonin, a neurotransmitter that may help stabilize mood.
Many grains, as well as other foods, contain healthy doses of folic acid, including: oatmeal, beets, broccoli, lentils, soybeans, mustard greens, beets and oranges.
B-12 can be found in foods rich in protein, including: milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, lean beef, salmon and shellfish. Both of these valuable B vitamins can be found in TriVita's Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid.
Magnesium: nuts and seeds In addition to helping Calcium and Vitamin D strengthen your bones, Magnesium also helps keep your smooth muscles operating properly. Deficiencies in magnesium can cause fatigue, irritability and mood swings. You can find magnesium in walnuts and pumpkin seeds. It's also in TriVita's VitaCal-Mag D and Bone Builder.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D may also help your body increase serotonin production, which makes it a wonderful mood booster. Find it in: fish with bones, fat-free and low-fat milk, egg yolks and TriVita's Bone Builder and VitaCal-Mag D.
And, limit these foods... Refined sugar and flour are notorious mood busters. They increase the blood sugar levels so high, that your body creates a flood of insulin which makes you feel worse than before you ate or drank them. The effect is a nasty roller-coaster of feelings, first shooting your spirit into the stratosphere, before it crashes to the cold, hard earth.
Instead, eat high quality carbohydrates, such as fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains.
By adapting our nutritional habits to include healthy foods and supplements, we can help keep your spirits up and your health at its optimum level!
