I truly believe the world would be a happier place and on it's way to world peace if everyone just ate more food; wait... ate more healthy food!
How are you when you don't eat enough? I am annoyed, frustrated, irritated and tired. Pretty sure that describes the generalization of people's moods on the daily.
We talk about wars and controlling the nukes, but who's talking about eating breakfast, lunch and dinner on a level of world peace? Wouldn't that be a fun news headline- "Today at the UN meeting, world leaders discussed what healthy foods they had to eat and how happy and patient they were with each others' differences."
Think about yourself personally. Have you ever connected your mood to how much you have eaten in a day? If you skipped breakfast, grabbed fast food for lunch and then ate a big restaurant dinner while mixing in caffeine and sugar snacks to keep you going, how was your energy? How was your patience tolerance during those tough meetings or while sitting in traffic? How was your ability to think clearly and rationally to complete the project? Did you have energy to keep up with your kids? Were you able to process emotions? Nourishing your body properly allows for more mental clarity, more energy, and better ability to process emotions.
If you were to eat a healthy breakfast, take a healthy prepared lunch and make a healthy dinner at home, you may notice how much happier you are, how you are not so easily annoyed and how much more energy you have!
Start connecting your mood and mental clarity to how much you are eating and the amount of quality food you are eating. When you snap back at your co-worker, spouse or child, stop and think, "am I hungry?" Sounds completely crazy, but only because nobody talks about food and emotions this way. If you are not getting enough calories or if you are eating only junk food with high alcohol or caffeine daily, I promise you, life is going to feel more frustrating for you. If you are often annoyed, overwhelmed or irritated check your food intake and make some healthier adjustments. These connections might not make sense to you, but that's why I'm mentioning it- it is all connected and eating healthy is not just connected to your weight.
