comfort FOOD

When winter hits, my mood often turns darker.  But, instead of pizza & ice cream (okay, sometimes instead), I try to reset my nutritional routine.  I am always surprised how unexpected foods can trigger a change in mood.  Healthy fats like that found in fish, nuts, avocado are shown to improve brain health while vitamin D found in dairy (and non-dairy mylks) are a big help if I have been stuck indoors.  Spicy foods offer anti-inflammatory benefits that help with circulation and my energy levels.  Making a positive change in what I eat often helps me combat a negative turn in my mood when winter sets in.  This next Call is all positive.  Take a look…
