Good Mood Foods

Good Mood Foods: Nutritional Choices to Alleviate PMS



Tense? Tired? Tearful? Put down that club-size bag of kettle chips and check your calendar. It’s likely your next period is pushing some emotional buttons and triggering those hefty cravings.
For many women, controlling PMS symptoms is a monthly struggle. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, at least 85 percent of menstruating women have at least one PMS symptom as part of their monthly cycles.*
Whether it’s anxiety or irritability, mood swings or crying jags, the emotional effects of PMS can often be more disruptive than the physical ones. You can help tame the monthly emotional rollercoaster by going for these nutritional choices.
Go fish (and flax). Albacore tuna, sardines, salmon, mackerel, herring and lake trout are all healthy mood foods because they contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s can sharpen your thinking and trigger the production of serotonin, a positive mood-enhancer (and incidentally, the same chemical released by the brain when you bite into dark chocolate). Not a fish lover? Walnuts and flaxseed are also great sources of Omega-3s. Try sprinkling ground flaxseed on your morning yogurt or whole grain cereal.
Go for magnesium-rich foods. Magnesium helps our bodies regulate serotonin activity, the brain’s feel-good neurotransmitter and natural appetite suppressor. PMS can lower magnesium in blood levels causing emotional stress and cravings. Fight gloominess and gluttony with foods that are high in magnesium such as black beans, pumpkin seeds, artichokes, bananas, spinach, peanuts, cashews, brown rice, and tofu.
Go whole. Buy as many fresh foods as possible and read labels for products that contain whole nutrients. Choose whole grain breads, pasta and cereals. These complex carbs are ideal for fighting the grumpies and raising serotonin levels. They’re also loaded with B vitamins, especially B6 which helps to reduce irritability and depression. Additionally, you’ll be avoiding foods with additives and preservatives that can sometimes increase mood swings by triggering unwanted chemical reactions in the brain.
Go caffeine-free. Caffeine in any form can seriously alter your mood. And when your hormones are in high gear, that’s not necessarily a good thing. To keep your pre-period moodiness to a minimum, enjoy decaf versions of your favorite coffee or soda. Or have a hot cup of relaxing, caffeine-free herbal tea. Try chamomile tea. It reduces tension and eases anxiety.
And Now, a Word About Chocolate
You don’t need anyone to tell you that devouring that giant heart-shaped box of Valentine chocolates in one fell swoop is bad for you. Sugary snacks worsen mood swings, not to mention what processed sugars do to your waistline and wellbeing.
Still, it’s hard to deny what that first delectable bite of chocolate decadence does for your mental state (thanks again to serotonin).
For those times when you’ve just got to have it, try this quick and healthier chocolate fix: Take unsweetened cocoa powder (it’s chocolate without the fattening cocoa butter), mix it with soymilk, a bit of cornstarch for thickening and just a hint of natural sweetener, such as stevia. Heat in a saucepan, then dip fresh strawberries, bananas, pear slices, or any of your favorite fruits into the chocolatey guilt-free goodness. Voila! A healthy dose of the chocolate you crave!
Go For It!
Rejecting junk foods altogether and consistently maintaining a well-balanced diet is the optimum way to alleviate your worst PMS symptoms. When life’s realities don’t make that possible, try stocking your shelves with the above good mood foods long before Mother Nature comes calling. That way, when you reach for the first salty or sweet snack you can get your hands on, you’ll improve the odds that it will be something much, much better for you.

Understand what "organic" really means


This simple guide can help you decide if going organic is worth the price

Fruit Bowl














Organic foods -- vegetables and fruits that are grown without the use of most chemical pesticides and fertilizers, or meats that haven't been treated with growth hormones and antibiotics -- have become increasingly popular in recent years. Close to 60 percent of Americans are willing to pay the extra 50 percent or so on their grocery bill to get produce that has been organically grown. In October 2002, the USDA's (United States Department of Agriculture)National Organic Program and the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service established a set of national organic standards and developed a labeling system to give shoppers more information about the food that they're buying.


1. 100 percent organic means the product only contains ingredients produced without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers (excluding water and salt). It's most commonly displayed on single-ingredient foods, like a tomato or a carton of milk. (The package may carry a "USDA Organic" seal.)

2. Organic means that at least 95 percent of the product contains ingredients produced without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers (excluding water and salt). The remaining 5 percent contains nonagricultural (nonorganic) or synthetic substances that the USDA allows as ingredients in or on processed products. This label is most commonly used on prepackaged goods, like meats and cheeses. (The package may carry a "USDA Organic" seal.)

3. Made with organic ingredients means that at least 70 percent of the product contains ingredients produced without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers (excluding water and salt). The remaining 30 percent includes nonorganic ingredients produced using chemicals and pesticides deemed safe for consumption.

4. Natural or all natural does not indicate an organic product. This label only means that the product contains no artificial ingredients or added color and is only minimally processed using chemicals and fertilizers that do not fundamentally alter the raw product.

5. Free-range or free-roaming labels are applied to meat and poultry and do not indicate that the product is organic. The requirement for the meat or poultry bearing this label is that the animal it came from lived more than 50 percent of its lifetime with access to an open environment. "Free-range" or "free-roaming" does not ensure that the animals were not treated with hormones or antibiotics.

Thanks ALL YOU

How to get soft, dewy cheeks

make-lipstickMy friend has dewy skin and always a rosy flush. It’s so natural, I can’t really tell whether she’s wearing makeup or not.

So I had to ask: what’s the key to herglow-from-within look? Use a cheek stain before applying foundation or any other makeup. The outcome? The most natural-looking flush.

1. Start with clean, moisturized skin.


2. Apply stain onto fingers and dot onto apples of cheeks (smile to find them). Using a circular motion, blend quickly with fingers. For a deeper “pop” of color, repeat.

3. When stain dries, then go ahead and put on foundation and the rest of your makeup. (Caryn swears by Bare Escentuals’ BareMinerals foundation.)

Check out these great picks for cheek stains:

1. Benefit’s Posietint. This pretty pink shade replicates an outdoorsy glow. (My friend swears by this!)

2. Sephora’s Lush Flush Wine Lip & Cheek Stain. This romantic, plummy hue works hand in hand with fall’s rich colors.

    Chocolate and flowers


    Wa-hoooo! If you love chocolate and flowers, then I have the deal for you! …AND it couldn’t have come at a better time with Valentines Day just around the corner!

    CVS has red heart shaped boxes of Harry London chocolate on sale for $9.99. Plus, select boxes have white peelie coupons on them valid for a FREE $20 1-800Flowers.com “Fresh Pass”. These $20 passes can be used like gift cards on 1-800Flowers.com purchases and they can also be stacked for even more savings! People are reporting being able to stack 3 $20 passes to score $60 off, so basically getting $60 flower arrangements for practically nothing! Plus, 1-800Flowers is offering up FREE shipping on quite a few arrangements!

    Also, it has been reported that Walgreens has the small boxes of Harry London chocolate hearts priced at just $5 with a peelie for a FREE $10 1-800Flowers.com “Fresh Pass”! And I’ve heard that some may even have $20 Fresh Passes!

    If you’re interested in getting in on this deal, walk or should I say run on over to Walgreens or CVS and snatch up some chocolate! I would suggest purchasing 2 boxes for a total of $19.98 or $10 + tax (depending upon if you find the peelies on the small or large boxes). Yes, this may seem high, but for that $10 to $20 spent, you’ll not only get 2 boxes of chocolate, but also up to $40 to spend on 1-800Flowers.com! Sounds good to me!

    Come back and let us know if you’re able to find these peelies!

    THANK YOU Hip2Save.com
