I guess we really are what we eat! I guess we know that some foods tend to make us feel better. Lots of people refer to food like meatloaf and ice cream as comfort foods. But just what food can affect our mood?

• Are you feeling anxious or upset because you are dehydrated? Anxiety can actually be a symptom of dehydration. Do not wait until you feel thirsty to have a drink of water.
• If your head feels fuzzy, and you find it hard to concentrate, make sure you are eating enough protein. We tend to turn to starchy foods for snacks when we feel sluggish, but a hard boiled egg, slice of cheese, or bowl of tuna may serve you better.
• You already knew that chocolate makes you feel better. Experts agree that chocolate can be a great mood elevator, and besides, it tastes great! If you are worried about eating too much, try buying the snack size. Here’s another guiltless chocolate idea I found at my local grocery store – Chocolate Yerba Tea! It only has 4 calories, 0 carbs, and just a surprising hint of cocoa.
