When we eat, we consume too much sugar and processed products, which is the reason not only for fat accumulation in our body, but also for our permanent bad mood. How to limit the problem?
When we eat, we consume too much sugar and processed products, which is the reason not only for fat accumulation in our body, but also for our permanent bad mood.
Not only is our silhouette a product of our diet, but so is the functioning of our brains, say Drew Ramsey and Tyler Graham, authors of The Diet for Happiness.
We feel best when our brain is left to starve. In modern industry and agriculture, however, our food is loaded with sugars, refined carbohydrates and vegetable fats, which burdens him. Even meat and dairy products are no longer natural and are the result of a technological process with additives and flavorings.
This makes our food poor in vital nutrients and essential unsaturated fats. The table does not provide us with enough magnesium, vitamin B12, linoleic acid, which are needed by the brain. They can generally be found in whole grains and green leafy vegetables.
Adherence to low-fat and low-carb diets further exacerbates the situation, according to nutrition experts. Indeed, they achieve weight control, but a healthy diet is subject to delivering what the brain needs to work optimally well and feel fit.
It is more appropriate not to limit fats or carbohydrates in the diet, but to select and consume the useful ones. For example, to consume olive oil instead of oil, fruit instead of confectionery for dessert.
"We must avoid" fake "products and strive to eat products of clear origin, obtained in the closest possible way to nature. It's important that the birds don't just come from a poultry farm, but are raised on a farm, ”says Drew Ramsey.
In this sense, it is preferable to choose the steak instead of the sausage and the meat is from animals raised for grazing, he added.
