Mood and Well Being
State of mind is affected by food choices. Nutrients in food affect brain chemicals that can alter your mood/emotional health. Studies show that omega fats can improve brain function and have a positive impact on mood and mental acuity. Foods that have high levels of monounsaturated fat, such as seeds, tuna, salmon, beans, nuts, and of course olive oil, help regulate mood. Don’t forget, our brains are made up of about 70 percent fat! A proper diet with regular exercise is the perfect recipe for optimal brain function, providing energy, alertness, and overall well-being.
