Food Mood Link

New research suggests that eating the right foods can actually affect your mood. Some food may banish stress, other may life depression and many are a great source of energy and general well being...

For long, researchers have said that there is a definite link of our emotions to the food we eat. Certain foods are mood boosters in the same way as other can be party poppers. There are still others that helps us feel calm, alert and even upbeat. Here's a least of some foods that have a direct link to your moods....


CHOCOLATES
(Mood lifters)
These may not be what that dietitian ordered but they certainly help put you in a better frame of mind. Chocolates and chocolate-based cookies and pastries boost levels of phenylalanine, a brain chemical that stimulate feelings similar to those experienced during the euphoria of romance. They also elevate levels of serotonin, the good brain chemical. Finally because we often associate chocolate with gifts rewards, the attraction may be part psychological, say researches.
