How Food Affects Our Mood
Summary
The place to find mood boosting cures could be…the kitchen. Everything we eat has the potential to change our brain chemistry, and as a result, the way we feel. The brain isn’t isolated from the rest of the body, it’s affected by what people eat and drink, just as is every other part of the body.
Certain types of foods do have an effect on the way an individual thinks and feels. After years of struggling with the problem of night club patrons leaving the bars and pubs and then getting involved in fist fights, an experiment was held – those leaving the bars and pubs were given chocolate. The chocolate affected people’s moods and prevented much violence.
