When the weather isn’t on our side, we need other sources to brighten our moods!
Lets go for 5 ways to boost our mood 🙂
1. Eat Anti-inflammatory Foods
*Berries
*Leafy greens
*Extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, and nuts
*Salmon, mackerel, sardines
*Lentils, beans, oats, quinoa, and brown rice
*Turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and thyme
*Dark chocolate (high cocoa) and green tea.
2. Moving your Body daily can significantly improve your mood.
*10 minutes is enough to improve metabolic health, lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular fitness, and reduce stress.
*Consistent 10-minute, high-intensity, or strength-focused workouts can build muscle and help manage weight.
*Regularity is more important than duration, and 10 minutes can keep your metabolism elevated.
*Short, daily sessions are highly effective at reducing anxiety and boosting mood.
3. Sunshine is so important but when the sun isn’t shining, still get outside!
*The dull weather will still boost your serotonin levels. Also getting fresh air is wonderful for clearing the mind and giving you a little boost.
*Use Light Therapy: If natural light is too low, using a 10,000-lux lightbox (SAD lamp) for 30 minutes in the morning can mimic the effects of sunlight and boost serotonin.
4. Top Tryptophan-Rich Foods:
*Turkey and chicken
*Tuna, salmon and halibut
*Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
*Tofu, soy beans, kidney beans, oats, and buckwheat.
*Eggs, cocoa solids, and spirulina.
5. Support your gut with probiotics, prebiotics and colonic irrigation sessions:
*You can buy high strength probiotics online or in many health shops, and supermarkets. Search for a minimum of 50 billion live cells.
*Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut and kombucha daily, are a great way to improve your gut health.
*Inulin powder (chicory root) or prebiotic foods like garlic, leeks, artichokes can feed all your gut bacteria.
A course of 3-6 colonic irrigation sessions can boost mood and clear your mind.
