英语课
Finding comfort in food. Eating the right dishes can lift our spirits and swallow up stress. Well, here with more on how food affects our mood is Doctor Susan Kleiner, a nutritionist, and the author of the Good Mood Diet. Susan, good morning.
Good morning, Kim Bold.
So I'm very curious about this, are there foods that actually have like, happy chemicals in them?
Oh, absolutely. You know, how we feel, how we cope with stress, how we think, how clearly we think, are all directly affected 1 by the foods that we eat.
OK, we actually went out and asked people what foods they ate in order to make themselves happy. And let's first listen to what they had to say.
Chocolate, I eat chocolate when I'm happy.
Thai food.
When I want to feel happy, I want to eat pizza.
OK, me too. Pizza would be my happy food. But those aren't the foods that actually make you happy, all right?
Well, it could be, you know, both of those are part of it. But there are foods that really directly affect our brain with certain chemicals. (Walk through) So fish is really a big happy food. It's got protein in brain, or make it free fats and vitamin D, all of those help raise our neural 2 chemistry that makes us feel happy. Potatoes, cereals, great carps that actually get the protein into the brain. Fruits and vegetables, milk and dairy products, all are great for raising mood. And crunchy foods, like popcorn 3, those are fabulous 4 for making us feel happy.
Why? Why?
The actual chewing mechanism 5 raises serotonin levels in the brain. So combining all these together, creating wonderful combinations of fish tacos or you know, think potatoes with chili 6 on top even. Those are great combinations.
Ok, then you got a very happy dinner, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Ok, let's talk about stressed-out food or foods that you do tend to eat when you're stressed. And let's see what our guest and contributors thought.
Yeah, when I'm stressed, then I eat anything salty. Popcorn, things like that.
A pie of chocolate. The chocolate is chocolate that has been my pacifier at the moment.
I usually go over some kind of drink, get a scorcher or so
Ok, a drink, yeah, that's a good solution. Well, what are the real stress busters?
Well, healthy fats, believe it or not. (talk me down.) They are great for coping with stress. Wonderful. So, avocados, nuts, seeds, olive, olive oil.
See! That's why I create guacamole when I'm stressed out. OK.
Yes, yes, a great stress buster, peanuts, peanut butter, and then again, dairy foods are great. They help reduce stress. They help decreasing anxiety and anger. And so again, combinations get in protein and vitamin B6. So lean beef, turkey, make yourself a turkey sandwich, those are (on whole-wheat breads) on, on the whole-grain bread. Yes, absolutely.
Ok, our final mood here is energetic. How to be energetic? And let's listen to what other people have to say.
Energy food, I usually eat anything with sugar.
Candy bars, with a lot of sugar in.
Usually I try to go a health through them, maybe a protein shake, Gatorade.
Ok, now I mean we all do it. Sugar, caffeine, you know.
Right, right.
Any of those unharmed?
Well, there are some good ones there. The fluids are really critical. So water, of course.
Keeping yourself hydrated.
Keeping yourself well hydrated. There's nothing more important for all of your moods is to keep yourself drinking plenty of water. But there are other things, eggs and soy. The egg, an egg yolk 7 and soy (is) are fast food lipids that actually create channels to allow nutritions into the brain and toxins 8 out. And so they are so important to have them in your diet everyday. And of course, everyone loves chocolate. But we can also have coffee, tea, a little bit of caffeine, (it's not terrible, right?) it is stimulant 9, right.
So it's a pick-me-up in the morning. It's great before exercise. You don't want too much, because it can make you feel lousy rather than better.
Or too late in the day.
Or too late in the day, right!
An interesting stuff, Dr. Susan Kleiner, thank you so much! Good to have you here!
Thank you! Nice to be here!
