Eat healthy! Here are the foods that should be consumed for a sharp and calm mind 

Our emotions often push us to choose unhealthy food. As you may have noticed, when you are sad, stressed or upset, your feet lead you to fast food, soufflés, meats or sweets. Emotions need food.

The more bad foods you eat, the more you will want, inadvertently getting into a vicious circle of bad emotions and choices.

A study published in the journal Clinical Psycology recently found a link between depression and obesity.

This connection is stronger as a result of hormones and psychological changes that occur in the immune system when depression strikes.

According to the study, people who are obese are more likely to be depressed and vice versa.

The first step to take in this direction is towards the right foods.

Foods rich in sugar, fat, salt and carbohydrates change the mood for the better in just a few minutes.

Then, they worsen the mood.

Wild cabbage, like pazia, laboti, etc., is rich in vitamin K and magnesium.

Lack of this mineral lowers levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that improves mood.

A serving of cooked wild cabbage meets 35 percent of the daily requirement for magnesium.

Tuna and chicken meat are rich in amino acids.

The latter make you smarter and more focused.

In moments when you need to be focused and shrewd, then eat turkey meat.

Walnuts are rich in amino acids, the lack of which causes depression.

These amino acids are also found in fish and studies show that people who do not eat a lot of fish are more at risk for depression.

Popcorn is considered a complex carbohydrate with a low glycemic level and that maintains levels of serotonin, the hormone that improves mood.

Once popcorn is mixed with fat, sugar or salt, the benefits of popcorn are no longer valid.

Cottage cheese contains tryptophan and amino acids that improve serotonin levels.

Lack of serotonin makes it difficult for the brain to cope with stress.

Bananas are rich in magnesium, potassium and vitamin B6.

Potassium is good for the heart, kidneys, muscles and digestive system.

The body is full of bacteria.

Probiotics are substances found in house yogurt that cultivate healthy bacteria in the digestive system.

The bacterium lactobacillus in particular is very beneficial to the organism.

Eating yogurt is recommended against anxiety and nervousness./AgroWeb.org
