Do you believe that your diet affects your mood and personality? Why or Why not?

Answer 1

Here are some examples of what foods to eat to improve your moods.

Recommendations for Managing Moods:


Maintain a stable blood sugar, no big mood swings. This means frequent small meals and snacks, every four hours or so.


Mood swings are often fuelled by neurotransmitters in the brain that are turned on and off by the food we eat or we don’t. Drinking tea or coffee with less intake of food swings the mood as poor eating habits makes you cranky. Balanced food diet with limit intake of caffeine and sugar lowers the irritability. Dehydration can cause fatigue and hence, drinking six to eight glasses of water per day is must.

Drink a lot of water.

***Exercise 20 minutes a day for mood -- and an hour for fat-burning.

****Do not follow an extremely low-fat diet. Fat is needed for anti-depression. Stick with polyunsaturated and monounstaurated fats and fatty fish or flaxseeds, which are full of healthy omega-3 fats.

****Take in tryptophan, an amino acid that makes blood sugar accessible to the neurotransmitters. This means milk or turkey. Eat a carb alongside your tryptophan source for better absorption.

Have breakfast.

Spend time in the produce department when you shop (try to eat a lot of bright colors, which means fruits and veggies).

Pass on food items that come wrapped in crackly cellophane.

Limit coffee (even nutritionist Kimball drinks some).

Don't eliminate any one food group, such as carbs.

Answer 2

Yes, when I eat junk food or anything that me makes feel uncomfortably full I tend to have a bad temper and that can be very annoying. Unlike when I eat my veggies or anything that is light and soft on my tummy..I am very calm and sweet. IN terms of personality I am still the same but its the mood that changes a lot.

Answer 3

When you eat right, you are knowing you are doing good for your body, along with exercise, and you feel sooo energetic, healthy & happy....
But, when you eat junk, you are more susceptable to be lazy, like you dont have all that much ambition.....

Goes to show "good" is always best!
