Did You Know Your Diet Affects Your Mood?

Did You Know Your Diet Affects Your Mood?
By Glenys

Did you know that your diet can have massive impacts and effects on your mood? What you put in your body every day is full of nutrients and vitamins but also elements and chemicals and other substances, natural and man-made. Excesses and deficiencies can definitely impact how you feel, but so can any substance in combination with others. Here are some of the ways that your diet affects your mood.

1. Optimistic

When your body is full of antioxidants from healthy superfoods, you are much more likely to feel optimistic about your life and bad news won’t get you down as much because the positive energy will be running through your body.

2. Depression

Studies have shown that people with overly fatty, salty and sugary diets are more susceptible to falling to the symptoms of depression. The lower your energy is and the less properly your thyroid can function, the more lethargic and low mood you are going to be.

3. Libido

The healthier your diet is, the more energised you are going to feel on a regular basis, and this will absolutely show itself in the regularity of your sexual feelings and libido, not to mention the fact that being healthier will mean that you can go for longer!

4. Unstable Energy Levels

If your diet consists of too much sugar and too many refined carbs, you are going to be likely to experience very irregular energy levels, constantly needing snack top-ups to keep you going throughout the day (snacks that don’t tend to be healthy.)

5. Happier

This one is an obvious one, but it bares repeating. The healthier your diet is, the healthier your body is, and the healthier your mind is! There is a direct link between a healthy diet and levels of happiness, mostly thanks to things like antioxidants, zinc, and B vitamins.

6. Anxiety

If you stick to the right kind of foods, a specific diet can have a huge impact on reducing feelings of anxiety. Tryptophan is a natural mood regulator and calmer, and it can be found in lots of things like bananas, spirulina, fish, and beef.

7. Alertness

Fill your diet with foods rich in vitamin C and complex carbohydrates, and you will find that you feel a lot more alert for longer periods of time at work or at school. Vitamin C is brilliant for increasing mental vigour and cognitive performance.
