Happy Foods

Top 10 foods to elevate your mood, according to a story from Yahoo:

1. Wild salmon (rich in omega 3 fats and vitamin D)
2. Spinach - (rich in folic acid and soluble fiber)
3. Skim milk - (rich in Vitamin D and B12)
4. Ground flaxseeds (rich soluble fiber, omega 3 fats and folic acid)
5. Blackberries (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid)
6. Omega 3 fortified eggs - (rich in omega 3 fats, Vitamin D and B12)
7. Sardines ( rich in omega 3 fats and Vitamin D)
8. Soybeans - (rich in soluble fiber, folic acid and omega 3 fats)
9. Beans (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid)
10. Brussels sprouts (soluble fiber and folic acid)

I don't know how happy I would be to actually eat some of these -- flaxseeds, anyone? Yum. Sounds healthy, though.

Yeah, I agree. Spinach & blackberries are the only things that I like on that list. I've never even seen flaxseeds. I take fish oil capsules (high in Omega 3-fatty acids) almost every day and use skim milk in cereal & that's about it for me.
Oh, I guess I do eat blackberries a couple of times a week (Costco sells a big bag of mixed berries-- delicious on cereal or in fruit salads).

I don't know about anyone else, but a steaming hot dish of macaroni and cheese with crusty cheese on top elevates my mood!

Hey - come back! I miss reading your posts. What do you think about the Lost finale? I was probably the only person who didn't figure out Jack with the beard was future Jack. What a putz I am.
