M: 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.
W: Good morning, Kim Bold.
M: So I’m very curious about this. Are there foods that actually have happy chemicals in them?
W: Oh, absolutely.(1)You know, how we feel, how we cope with stress, how we think, how clearly we think are all directly affected by the foods that we eat.
M: OK. We actually went out and asked people what foods they ate in order to make themselves happy. And they said that some kinds of food do make them happy, such as chocolate, Pizza, Thai food and etc. As for me, Pizza would be my happy food. But those aren’t the foods that actually make you happy. Right?
W: 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. Fish is really a big happy food. It’s got protein in brain, and(5 - 1)it is free of fats and full of vitamin D. All of those help raise our neural chemistry and that makes us fed happy. Potatoes, cereals, great carps actually get the protein into the brain. Fruits and vegetables,(2 - 1)milk and dairy products, all are great for raising mood. And crunchy foods, like popcorn, are fabulous for making us feel happy.
M: Why is it so?
W: The actual chewing mechanism raises neurotransmitter levels in the brain. So combining all these together creates wonderful combinations. For instance, potatoes with chili on top even. Those are great combinations.
M: OK. Then you got a very happy dinner, right?
W: Yes.
M: OK. Let’s talk about stressed-out food or foods that you do tend to eat when you’re stressed. People interviewed said that they might prefer anything salty, or a piece of chocolate, or even some kind of drinks. Well, as far as you are concerned, what are the real stress busters?
W: Well.(3 - 1)Healthy fats, believe it or not, are great for coping with stress, such as nuts, seeds, olive, olive oil and etc.(5-2)A great stress buster: peanuts and peanut butter.
M: Yes.
W:(2-2)(3-2)And then again, dairy foods are great. They help reduce stress and decrease anxiety and anger. And so again,(3 - 3)combinations get in protein and vitamin B6. So(5 - 3)lean beef and turkey are good choices. Making yourself a turkey sandwich on the whole-grain bread seems a great idea.
M: OK, our final mood here is energetic. How to be energetic? People who we interviewed also showed their preference to something with sugar, as candy bars or a protein shake. OK, now I mean we all do it. Sugar, caffeine, you know.
W: Right.
M: Are any of those unharmed?
W: Well. There are some good ones there. The liquid is really critical. So water, of course is very good.
M: Keeping yourself hydrated.
W: Keeping yourself well hydrated.(4)There’s nothing more important for all of your moods than to keep yourself drinking plenty of water. But there are other things, such as eggs and soy.(5 - 4)The egg, the egg yolk and soy are fast food fat that actually creates channels to allow nutrition into the brain and poisonous substances out. It’s 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. They are stimulant.
M: 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.
W: Or too late in the day.
M: Right! An interesting stuff, Dr. Susan Kleiner, thank you so much! Good to have you here!
W: Thank you! Nice to be here!
