THIS YOU CAN EAT IF YOU'RE A BIT MOODY

I might be a latecomer, but I want to talk about Blue Monday for a moment. Did you have any trouble with it? Anyway, Monday is always a bit of a slow starter for me, so everything gets going slowly. I always try to exercise in the morning, that's a good start to the week. Really do that. You'll hate me when that alarm goes off, but you'll be grateful when your class is over. Then your week can hardly go wrong. But well, it's Wednesday now and you can really be a bit moody then too. Now you can just ask someone for a hug or call a friend to vent. That helps. But I'm here to talk about nutrition, you can also help your mood a bit with certain nutrients. Eat things that give you an energy or happiness boost. You'll definitely find that useful at some point.

Honey

Put a spoonful in your tea or spread it on a toasted slice of bread. It contains kaempferol and quercetin (forget those two names right away) that keep your brain healthy and can prevent depression. So it's a perfect pick-me-up.

Banana

Bananas contain potassium that gets stored in your blood and gives you an energy kick. This is really a very healthy snack. Also nice before you go exercise, because then you'll go like a rocket.

Grapes

For a little dip, grapes are perfect for an acute energy kick.

Chocolate

Ahaaa, you expected that one in this list. You can dive into the BonBonBlocs, but also go for a piece with a high cocoa content. From 60% for example.

It contains the substance phenylethylamine (forget this name right away) and endorphins. That gives you a feeling of being in love and euphoria. Well, what are you waiting for?
