food Story: Caution: these 10 products manipulate your mood

Sounds surprising, doesn't it? Now let's consider some things. Do you get the occasional headache? Do you have a sleep problem? Why are you sad or anxious? We are trying to explain our mood shifts and health problems by change in the weather or hard working days. However, the food we eat can easily manipulate the way we feel!

#1 Pasta causes depression

Pasta and bread made out of non-whole or refined grain cause depression. This happens because of its high glycemic index which increases blood glucose levels. High blood sugar level can cause anxiety.

#2 Sweet corn can cause a headache

It has been proved that corn and corn syrup trigger migraine because of the high level of simple sugars and copper.

#3 Brazil nuts improves heart health

Selenium deficiency causes muscle weakness, irritability and fatigue. Brazil nuts are one of the best sources of this micronutrient. Two nuts provide daily allowance of selenium.

#4 Salmon lowers the risk of depression

Oily fish is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids. It is well known that deficiency of these fatty acids causes depression and damage in the nervous system.

#5 Broccoli improves your memory

Broccoli is rich in vitamin K which improves memory and cognitive performance in older adults.

#6 Tomatoes and potatoes can cause insomnia

Did you know that potatoes, tomatoes, and aubergines contain glycoalkaloids? These chemical compounds can overstimulate the nervous system and some people may have difficulty sleeping.

#7 Tuna is not safe for your central nervous system

Unfortunately, some kinds of seafood accumulate mercury which is harmful to our brain, nervous system and kidneys. To avoid intoxication it is recommended to eat wild fish once a week.

Enough with all that crap!! If you eat in moderation none of these foods will cause any harm. I like everything they listed and have never had bad reactions to any of them.there are just to many crackpots out there trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.

fishrmn, I agree with you totally, I have never had a bad reaction to any of the foods mentioned. Your body will tell you if something doesn't agree with you. Remember the debacle over eggs and cholesterol. I have an egg nearly every day some days two my cholesterol is 4.

Not sure I believe any of that. I have eaten all of those foods all of my life and I never had any of the problems they listed. Also, my families ate those foods and all lived to be nearly 100 yr. old.

Eat everything in moderation. I’ve never had any of these reactions to those foods when I do eat them. I don’t eat junk food, and I make things from scratch using very little prepackaged things.

Pasta makes me happy, lol...it's one of my comfort foods along with a good garlic bread and green salad and chocolate...can't forget the chocolate, lol

Eat everything in moderation. Bottom line is eating healthily during the week and occassional not on weekends and special occasions, with some excercise thrown in

Barb Beck

Corn 🌽 has never given me a migraine. Fish does though.

Janet Jones Newman, We had an exchange student from the UK. Found it interesting that she had never eaten corn. She told us that it is fed to.livestock there.
