How to embody a Healthy Mind to Balance your Mood.
Nutrition
To embody a healthy state of mind and work to stay in a good mood, one should include Natural Organic Whole foods such as Wild Fish, Organic Poultry, Raw Milk and cheeses and plant-based foods high in live nutrients such as Legumes, Nuts, Seeds, Whole Grains, Fruits, Green Leaves and Cruciferous vegetables. These nutrient-dense foods will feed the good flora in the gut and provide the body with vital nutrients, promoting a healthy body, mind and spirit.
One should limit their intake of toxic anti-nutrients such as oxidants found in burned oils, stimulants such as tobacco, processed foods such as White flour, High fructose corn syrup, fillers, binds, natural flavours, enhancers, etc. You want to avoid feeding the harmful bacteria.
However, as a food scientist, I strongly believe in moderation, evolution, adaptation, and genetic mutation.
It is important to note that anti-nutrients surround us. Therefore, finding a healthy relationship with awareness of these foods and creating balance and moderation are the keys to a healthy body and mind.
Lifestyle
It is essential to recognize that food is not the only source of living a healthy life with a happy mind filled with peace and contentment. To be connected to your food and understand its source’s value, you need a solid connection to your soul and natural healthy rhythms. Practices such as meditation, movement, cooking, cleaning and acts of service that feed the good spirits in your life magnify your awareness of what you put in your body. Thus, you can make better choices that reflect how you feel inside yourself.
It is important to note that media consumption can stimulate our dopamine receptors in an addictive form. It creates a feeling of instant gratification that is short-lived and unsustainable. Furthermore, this surrounding digital reality can lead to addictive behavior to other stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol, processed sugar, and chemical drugs. This consumption creates an imbalance in the nervous system, making one anxious, depressed, angry, and frustrated, sometimes dealing with intrusive thoughts and manipulative implications.
