It's
a well known truth that by doing exercise we liberate endorphins and that makes
us happy. Sadly, most of us deny doing it since we are condemned to be sedentary.
Let’s face it, we prefer watching TV or sitting around the computer instead of
jogging or running. Fortunately, there is something that we all can do and be
happy at the same time: eat!
I’m
not talking about eating just for the pleasure of it. Well, that makes us
happy, but is not my point. I want you to know that there are certain food that give us different nutrients which contribute to our spiritual and physical
balance. At the end that’s the key to our happiness.

Eggs
contain Zinc, vitamin B, Omega-3 Fatty acids and protein which keep you not only
energized but full of energy too. This ordinary food is internationally proved to
be good for our health and mood; that’s why a few months ago the Chilean Heath Ministry
started a campaign named: “Eggs, the best protein,” in order to encourage
people to eat it.

Dark chocolate (yes, chocolate!) has benefits that the
regular ones do not have. Its high levels of magnesium calms your muscles pain,
reduces your anxiety levels and provides an instant increase in concentration
and mood. It is also proved that the tryptophan
on it helps to reduce symptoms of depression. Keep calm; you just need a small
portion of it each day to feel its benefits.
Spinach
vitamins (folic acid and vitamin B) boost your mood and its antioxidants
protect your brain cells from free radicals, which provokes low energy and mood
swings.
These
three foods help you to stabilize your system and forget the tiredness. Forget about
taking “happy” pills to treat your stress, anxiety and depression. Mother Earth
has plenty elements to lend you a hand with your problems.

I agree with you.Mother nature has several products to help us overcome diseases and mental disturbances. In fact, I have tried Yerba Mate which is a very natural way of reducing anxiety and stimulating our body. The Yerba Mate has been proven to inhibit the activity of monoamine oxidase responsable of anxiety and it also contains a small amount of caffeine that stimulates our central nervous system and relaxes our muscles. It is a good alternative if you want to avoid coffee! I really enjoy this natural solution to stress!
ReplyDeleteGreat advice! I didn't know how good yerba mate is! :) I will try it before the semester ends.
