1 - EAT HEALTHIER

There are certain foods that DO help improve your mood. They are:

◆ Chocolate – Yes... chocolate! There’s some science behind the theory that chocolate makes us happy: eating dark chocolate (1.4 ounces of it, to be exact) every day for two weeks reduced stress hormones, including cortisol, in people who were highly stressed, a study done at the Nestlé Research Centre in Switzerland. Dark chocolate contains magnesium, that can help you feel positively good and prevent mood swings. Experts believe it could be thanks to the antioxidants in chocolate. When you do indulge, be sure to account for the 235 calories that 1.4 ounces of chocolate delivers, or you may be stressed to see extra pounds creeping on.

◆ Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain, nuts, beans and peas can produce the feel-good amino acid tryptophan, helping you to feel calm and settle into stable condition.

◆ Coconut – When you’re stressed, the scent of coconut may blunt your natural ‘fight or flight’ response, slowing your heart rate. People who breathed in coconut fragrance in a small pilot study at Columbia University saw their blood pressure recover more quickly after a challenging task. The researchers speculate that inhaling a pleasant scent enhances alertness while soothing our response to stress.

◆ Tea – OK, it’s not food but drinking caffeinated black, green or tea may elicit a more alert state of mind, says a study in the Journal of Nutrition. Researchers think theanine – an amino acid present in these tea varieties – may work with caffeine to improve attention and focus. To reap the benefits, the study’s results suggest drinking five to six cups of tea daily, although this may interfear with sleep. Talking of which...

◆ Bananas and whole grain cereal provide B-12 complex vitamins which promote better memory, feeling energetic’
