Want To Be In A Good Mood? Eat Good Food!


If you want to feel good and be in good spirits- you need to eat healthy! 

It is helpful to eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 large meals. Eating too much at once can overload your pancreas and make you feel tired and sluggish.

You also do not want to eat every few minutes as this is hard on the pancreas also. Space out your healthy small meals at least every 3 hours.

When your blood sugar drops, you can easily feel tired, irritable and depressed.


You need to eat regularly to keep your blood sugar level steady by eating foods that release energy slowly.


Slow-release energy foods include: protein foods such as nuts and seeds and lean meats.


Yes, it is true that breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Do not skip breakfast!


It is also good to eat smaller portions spaced out regularly throughout the day than to eat a large lunch and dinner.


It is best to avoid foods which make your blood sugar rise and fall quickly such as sugary snacks, sugary drinks, and alcohol.



Your body does need several servings of vegetables a day. Vegetables and fruit contain a lot of the minerals, vitamins, and fiber.  

Fruit and veggies help you to stay healthy both physically and mentally.


It is best to eat some vegetables raw because  cooking can destroy some nutrients.
