Feed Me Healthy

After reading 'Stylist' Magazine's article yesterday about junk food being significantly linked to the blues (as highly as 51%) - it prompted me to share this info with you also...

Some think the mind is a separate entity to the body, but in fact it's the exact opposite. As well as the thoughts or mind frame we adopt, the food we consume also affects our body. Research has shown that what we eat determines our mood and if you or someone around you doesn't feel their best a lot of the time or is suffering from depression a good long critical look at their/your diet is a must.

Lack of & Deficiencies in the following vitamins and nutrients have all been linked to depression or mental health:-

* Vitamin C - Depression

* B6 - Depression, poor memory, stress, irritability

* B3 - Depression, stress

* B12 Poor memory, confusion

* Folic Acid - Anxiety, depression

* Magnesium - Anxiety, depression, irritability, stress, insomnia

* Omega3 - Depression, poor memory

So let's have a look at the foods that eliminate the problem and can provide optimal health ;- 

*Oranges and Strawberries - Provides vitamin C

*Chicken, Salmon, Tuna - Provides B12 & Omega 3

*Natural yogurts, Eggs - Proves B12

*Spinach - Provides Folic Acid

*Peppers - Provides B6, B3, vitamin C and Magnesium

*Broccoli - Provides B3, B6 & Magnesium

*Porridge - Provides B3 & B6

*Brown Rice - Provides B3 & B6

So next time we are at the supermarket, let's really think about what we are putting into our trolley, not only those who may be a little blue, all of us ... fatty foods and processed foods are danger signs for our body. Nutrition is the way forward - Fabulous minds and fabulous bodies ;-)

Beautilicious Week - Day 4 - Mental Beauty

If you're anything like myself or the people I've talked to recently - The year hasn't been the easiest so far and that's why Day 4 is about getting our mentally in-check, in order to move forward in the best possible mind frame... So It may not be a physical beauty treat, but it's a Mental Beauty one & some of the info I've found here may help you today or somewhere through the year ;-)...

Now 'Glamour' is not a usual read for me, however I was glad when I picked up this recent issue and found so much positivity graced across the pages ... it was a sin not to share:

Positive People have 4 ways in which you can spot them - apart from oozing optimism and being comfortable in their own skin, so they have enough left over to shine on you....

1. They take a real interest in you and what you have to say
2. They are truly happy for your achievements
3. Have genuine Body Language - warm hugs, real smiles, inquisitive eyes
4. Make you feel at ease because they're not unconsciously giving off anxiety or envy

They have far from negative thoughts & If you could hear them they'd sound like this:

1. "It's a challenge, but I'll cope"
2. "This is only temporary, I can put it behind me"
3. "I made a mistake, but I can learn from it and improve"
4. "It's not a good outcome, but it's not the end of the world"

In the words of Oprah Winfrey...   "The Greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change their future by merely changing their attitude"

Maya Angelou ... " If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it - change your attitude, Don't complain"

Or how about doing as Miranda Kerr does, and wake up every morning to the positive affirmations written by your bedside? She uses this : "Everyday I am a new person, everyday I create the life I desire. I am free of any limiting beliefs & I reach for the stars" (And she truly does!)

Have a fabulous day Beauties
