FOOD AFFECTS YOUR MOODS?

I LOVE THIS COMMENT FROM Dr.Ritamarie "Besides rhyming, do you know what food and mood have in common?" But read more and you'll see she gets down to the real seriousness of the matter and we need to pay attention:
If you suffer from any of the following, it would be a good idea for you to understand the food mood connection:

*Irritability
*Fatigue
*Mood swings
*Brain fog
*Impatience
*Frustration

You may not realize it, but your mood has a lot to do with what you eat. Stimulants like caffeine, chocolate and sugar can trigger mood swings and cause irritability. Other foods slow you down, and leave you feeling depressed and unmotivated. There is a specific link between what you eat and how you feel. Some foods feed your brain, some drain it!
If you're in a perpetual state of brain fog, or find yourself depressed or irritable much of the time, your brain chemistry is in need of a tuneup. Medications may make you feel better temporarily, yet in the long run can lead to further imbalance
.
Most of the time we feel a way and can`t understand why, just not able to put our finger on it ....well if we focus we will learn. Sometimes everything someone says to you causes you to fly off the handle good or bad, and another time we are so serene ...just notice how you feel when you eat certain things then don`t eat them and see....bloating especially.... watch what causes your stomach to bloat, watch what causes your sinuses to drain......it's amazing to eat then watch your body react.... when we learn, we know what to do next time!
Not everything we love, loves us....I learnt that the hard way!

NB: My Holistic practitioner says i musnt worry about Indian Food(March 12th blog) as its balanced with great stuff like Tumeric!!!!!!!!
