Top Ten Happy Foods! - UA&P

Eating for a better mood boils down to this; control your blood sugars by eating every 4 to 5 hours throughout the day, eat a diet rich in soluble fiber, and incorporate foods rich in omega 3 fats, folic acid, B12 and Vitamin D - four nutrients that researchers have found to be mood lifting.

1. Wild salmon (rich in omega 3 fats and vitamin D)

2. Spinach - (rich in folic acid and soluble fiber)

3. Skim milk - (rich in Vitamin D and B12)

4. Ground flaxseeds (rich soluble fiber, omega 3 fats and folic acid)

5. Blackberries (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid)

6. Omega 3 fortified eggs - (rich in omega 3 fats, Vitamin D and B12)

7. Sardines ( rich in omega 3 fats and Vitamin D)

8. Soybeans - (rich in soluble fiber, folic acid and omega 3 fats)

9. Beans (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid)

10. Brussels sprouts (soluble fiber and folic acid)

Plus an extra for good luck!

Trying to fit those into your diet is not so bad. At least you would reap the benefits in the end.

ondiet said...

this is the best diet: don't eat! if you feel like fainting, eat a cracker.

chatdude said...

lady said...

you can't get a date if you have all that fats in your body. guys are very judgmental especially when it comes to women's figure.

vegetable hater said...

food addict said...

i remembered a line in the movie devil wears prada.. by the secretary of the devil.. haha..

"i have this new diet.. where i don't eat anything.. and when i feel i'm about to faint... i eat a cube of cheese"

my gosh!! this really made me laugh.. so..

Ondiet...

i think eat a cube of cheese.. not crackers...

hahaha...

food addict said...

@ lady

"i'm a filipina but filipino foods are fatty and fatty. we're talking about foods that keep you healthy. healthy means happy"

filipino foods are not fatty.. american foods are... start with the fastfood MCDONALDS.. which by the way we all love...

so does that mean mcdonalds does not make you happy?? since it is not healthy...

mcdo lover said...

hey!! stop picking on mcdonalds.. it is my favorite fastfood chain...

jollibee addict said...

boo mcdonalds!!! jollibee is better... and it is an original filipino product... so be proud of your own...

skeptic said...

i totally disagree with what bitter exbf said a while back... food that makes you happy are those that are fatty?? i don't think so... yes they do because they are delicious.. but they make you happy for a SHORT WHILE only... it will make you sick in the LONG RUN... so why bother eating fatty foods? eat healthy and live longer that will make you happier :)

smiles said...

american fast foods are fatty but not american foods in general per se.

Renz said...

IMO: (jollibee vs mcdo)
foodies i eat at Mcdo:
-burgers,fries, mcflurry,hashbrown,nuggets,chicken


foodies i eat at Jollibee:
-burger steak,palabok, shanghai, chicken steak,ice craze,i'm happy with their big meals!

hmmm..all in all I can eat on both chains so ok lang.

yingz said...

@vegetable hater
there's still eggs and salmon. you can add spices to help increase the flavour of vegetables.


healthy or unhealthy food..just eat what makes you happy..we only live once you know. why get bounded by so many rules?

yingz said...

btw besides fast food, do americans have other types of food that are available?

kit Palabyab said...

of course!!! hahaha in america especially in california...dude that's like the soy capital of the country lol! you can find all the organica, all the fatty, all the precessed and all the fresh food you can ever want! lol! it's not all supersize-me there lol!

bitter exbf said...

i totally agree with you veggie hater!

lady said...

i bet bitter exbf is really fat. hahaha.

chatdude said...

chocolates can produce happy hormones. that's why when a person is clinically depressed, chocolate should be part of his/her diet.

Anonymous said...

chocolates are the best! i can eat them forever!

bitter exbf said...

chocolates can cause pimples!

chatdude said...

pure chocolates does not cause pimples. the peanuts that are added to it causes pimples

bitter exbf said...

we get it chatdude. you're smart.

lady said...

and bitter exbf is not so smart.

ondiet said...

yeah, i think it was cube of cheese. sorry. but i love your top 10 happy foods.

lady said...

renz, if you want to loose those fats, you should start working out. my aunt did it after her pregnancy. it didn't bring back her old figure but it was close.

chatdude said...

lady said...

hahahahaha!

yingz said...

pimples?..it depends on who's eating the chocolate

@kit
