Good Mood, Good Food #19

Here’s a simple but profound truth: what you eat affects how you feel.

Your brain relies on a steady supply of nutrients to function at its best. When you nourish yourself with high-quality, whole foods, you’re not just fueling your body—you’re building the foundation for emotional resilience.

On the other hand, processed, sugar-laden foods can hijack your energy and mood, leaving you feeling foggy, fatigued, or anxious.

Have you ever noticed that you—or your spouse, kids, or friends—get a little cranky and chirpy after eating sub-optimal foods? There’s a reason for that: what we eat directly impacts our mood and behavior.
