Are you down in the dumps? Frank Yan says do not reach for those delicious box of cookies. Unhealthy eating can make your bad mood even worse. Take a walk outside instead. This is what Frank does, especially a walk around River Walk in Sacramento along the Sacramento River.
If you are concerned about your weight or daily diet, throw away that seeking solace in a pint of chocolate ice cream, it will and can make you feel even worse. While attending Sacramento State, Frank Yan researched that it showed for women who continually worried about their body figure, pigged out when we’re in a bad mood. This type of behavior can drag them down even further.
According to research, nutritious foods such as walnuts, salmon, and whole grains can really help increase our serotonin levels. Serotonin is the feel good hormone that benefits our sense of well-being and moods. Bingeing on junk food that are not good for us can lower our serotonin production and, with it, our moods.
Instead of seeking a better mood with eating junk food, get moving instead with a work out or walk. A 10-minute burst of exercise can give you a noticeable lift.
