Food Mood and Thanksgiving (#84)

2019-06-28T14:41:16-05:00

  As fate would have it, Thanksgiving this year (2017) overlaps with my dear colleague Kiran Ram’s amazing Food and Mood Project. So I decided to do a show and write a blog on food and mood. A History of Thanksgiving: The very 1st Thanksgiving Day occurred in the year 1621. It was a three-day festival held by pilgrims celebrating their blessings of the harvest. They invited Indians. Indians donated five deer, so venison was on the dinner table menu, and there wasn’t any turkey. There were also no pumpkin pies or potatoes as they hadn’t yet been introduced into the [...]

Food Rules Mood

2019-06-28T14:41:16-05:00

Food is a necessity of life. It keeps us alive. It sustains us. It’s pleasure you can receive without the muss and fuss of another human. But food also has some shadowy slopes. In fact food can sometimes be downright dangerous. Food can create a filter—good or bad—through which you perceive your world. Your choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and even your portion sizes, can make or break your mood. For example, your menu choices and amounts can contribute to calm and contentment or to anxiety and debilitating depression. Food is powerful. Appreciation of the relationship between food and mood [...]

A web of evidence for a vicious circle of fat. 15 Sophisticated & Effective Steps to Break this Cycle.

2019-04-03T10:02:37-05:00

Life often manifests as circles. One thing leading to another. Who would have thought that there might be a circle surrounding mindfulness, brain size, appetite regulation, and belly fat? But there is. Let me present a web of scientific evidence that shows that “mindfulness” plays a significant role in being able to control the portion size of what you choose to eat. More mindfulness, less belly fat. The opposite also holds true. More fat, less mindfulness (not in all, but in many). The bigger the belly fat, the smaller the brain volume (even in children); less mindful awareness, due to the [...]

7 Reasons Nature Wants You To Eat Color-Coordinated Blue Foods

2019-01-17T20:52:14-06:00

“I wuv you cried the little blue man.” These were words of a song by Betty Johnson many years ago. Blue in that song meant sad, but blue in foods means the opposite. It means nature is happy and focused on protecting you. What are blue foods? These are foods high in pigments called anthocyanins, members of the flavonoid family. These pigments give foods their blue, purple, or red colors. They can be in many fruits (like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries), in flowers (like violets) and in leafy veggies (like purple kale and red cabbage). Consuming foods rich in anthocyanins is [...]
