FOODS THAT PROMOTE WELLBEING
"Certain foods act like natural anti-depressants. Dark chocolate is one. Have some every day to ensure a steady supply of blood to the brain. It is a great mood lifter and also makes you feel energetic. Honey contains kaempferol and quercetin, which too help in fighting depression, reduce brain inflammation and block accumulation of bad fats. White sugar does the exact opposite. Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that help keep you in a good mood. It is best to eat them with olive oil, which helps in lycopene absorption. Eggs are a virtual storehouse of zinc, Vitamin B, Iodine, Omega-3 fatty acids and protein. All these are mood lifters. Coconuts contain moderate amounts of medium-chain triglycerides. These are special fats that promote general brain-health and induce a feeling of wellbeing. "
