Foods Impact How We Feel

Ever heard someone say  “You are what you eat”? Well, it’s so true! Next time you are at the grocery, start to observe people and look at their choices for loading their baskets. Is it mostly “comfort food” chips, chocolate, ice cream? Is your diet filled with sugar and carbs? This is a warning sign you may need help with anxiety and depression. Can you control these cravings and add or exchange nutritious alternatives? Would low fat cottage cheese with chives on your baked potato work instead of sour cream and butter? Could you mix cooked kale into pasta? How about grapes or an apple for dessert instead of cake?Foods impact how we feel.
