What to Eat & What to Avoid

So busy lately I don’t even have time to troll some blogs. I don’t even have time to enjoy food out there.

I can only admire those posts about food from other blogs like monkeywong’s, hoongkiat’s, nastasshea’s, Gina’s .. & even Jennyhow also talked about food & gaining weight lately…

But do you know, choosing the wrong food will affect your mood easily?
Here are some tips !!

If you feel angry:
Avoid: Sugar foods.
Eat: Complex carbohydrates like whole-grain bread and cereals, potatoes, brown rice and pasta.

If you feel anxious:

Want to change your mood?
Angry?
Eat a grapefruit! It’s rich in pectin, a soluble fibre that lowers blood cholesterol and reverses the negative effects anger has on the body.

Need to be more mentally alert?
Reach for an apple. It contains lots of boron, which helps boost mental alertness.

Depressed?
Try a bowl of plain rice, a low-fat, no-cholesterol complex carbohydrate full of selenium, which may ward off depression.

Tired and depressed?
Grab a handful of raisins, rich in iron.

Lethargic?
Lean towards lentils, a good source of iron.
