5 Ways Your Breakfast Affects Your Mood
The key to stay cool all day without rising temper because of traffic and being much nicer to your assistant could be on your breakfast meal.
1. Your bread doesn’t have enough B-vitamins
Breads on your breakfast plate do not have sufficient amount of B-vitamins your body needs such as niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, and folic acid which are responsible for serotonin build up, neurotransmitter that makes you cool and happy all day.
Breakfast reality:
Breakfast should contain at least 10% of the daily value of niacin, riboflavin, thiamin and folic acid. Breads that contain nuts and whole grain breads have higher amount of B-vitamins. Include orange and fortified cereals on your breakfast to increase your daily dose of B-vitamins.
2. You eat “low fat” foods
Some low fat meal like muffins and pastries contains unhealthful trans fat. This kind of fat makes you more slow and irritable.
Breakfast reality:
Most recent study stated that people who eat high amount of omega-3 fatty acids are more relax. It allows the membrane of nerve cells to function very well. Use walnuts or flaxseed to your favorite cereals or yogurt.
3. You eat fruits alone
Fruits have limited amount of magnesium, a kind of nutrient that eliminate depression.
Breakfast reality:
Add whole grain foods on your breakfast to increase intake of magnesium.
4. You eat pancakes and pastries every morning
Consuming large amount of refined carbohydrate can make your blood glucose level drop below normal, making you feel more irritable.
Breakfast reality:
Add foods rich in protein help you brain handle every day stress. Boost you energy by adding 5 grams of fibrous foods every morning. Your peanut butter gives at least 2 grams of fiber you may substitute it with an apple or banana for about 3 grams each.
5. Miss out you coffee
Drinking fewer amounts of you coffee intake can leave you irritable.
Breakfast reality:
It doesn’t mean that you have to increase your daily intake of coffee, drink at least 10 percent less a day.
