This week, we’re talking about how certain foods can boost your mood. Did you know that the key to eating to improve your mental health has a lot to do with maintaining a healthy gut? Healthy bacteria in your gut produce compounds that help your body maintain hormone balance.

I feel really vital with certain foods that I eat regularly.
Microgreens, Broccoli, Dark leafy greens, Avocado, Tumeric, Nuts, Seeds, Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, Chlorella, Sunflower/hemp/pea/ rice protein, Green Vibrance and celery smoothie.
I also like Okinawa ( Hawaii) purple sweet potatoes, steamed asparagus, tempeh, tofu and Japanese sweet potatoes. I started making smoothies with green bananas for prebiotics.
When I eat these foods I feel like I'm eating to Live.
On special occasion we go to a few very fancy vegan restaurants that have raw and organic foods. I also love an occasion a l piece of vegan cheesecake 😋0 -
I'm one of those people who can't go without breakfast. If I do, my blood sugar plummets and I get really cranky! Most days I make a smoothie with half a banana, some frozen fruit, mixed veggies like cucumber, carrot, or beets. I also put in a handful of super greens, almonds, protein powder, flax, chia, coconut water, psyllium and apple cider vinegar. It fills me up and I can go hours with being hungry. Oh and also a cup of coffee but only one!! I find it I only have cereal or oatmeal, I get hungry faster even when I add nuts to it.0

So interesting I am the same way! I have veggies. Green smoothies in a.m. oatmeal totally makes me hungrier. I only have at night if I do for dinner0 -
