Feed Your Mind and Body

Posted on: April 23, 2014 By: Kevin Tavakoli

If you are looking for healthy meals that benefit your mind and body, here are some choices to try.

  1. Salmon w/spinach & walnut pesto on whole-grain bread or bun. The salmon adds omega-3 fatty acids, spinach adds magnesium (which helps lower blood pressure), and walnuts add melatonin to help you sleep better.
  2. Detox Salad. This salad includes watercress and artichokes to limit bloating and the artichokes also add inulin, a soluble fiber. The celery replenishes your body with water with its potassium and sodium. Also in the salad is red-onion and feta cheese. Toss all in a cucumber vinaigrette.
  3. Boost your Libido with a Stir-Fry. This includes asparagus for vitamin E, beef adds zinc for a testosterone increase, brown rice also enhances the libido, and cashews are a natural aphrodisiac.  Other ingredients are bell peppers, ginger, soy-sauce, and lime juice.
  4. Slim Down with a Blackberry and Banana Smoothie.  Blend blackberries which fill you up and bananas to add fiber with coconut milk that helps shed belly-fat, yogurt to help fight fat, and lemon zest and honey.

Foods to Eat That Can Make You Happy

Posted on: February 5, 2014 By: Kevin Tavakoli

Stay healthy and happy, California! According to Health.com, the foods in this diet can elevate your mood and can contribute to happiness all day long. 

  • Milk. Rich in Vitamin D, this can cause a surge in serotonin, the "happy hormone."
  • Navy beans. The magnesium in navy beans can combat the emotional effects of PMS.
  • Garbanzo beans. It’s the tryptophan in these tasty little beauties that is thought to brighten your emotional state. 
  • Walnuts. The omega 3S in walnuts can lift your mood!
  • Salmon. Vitamin B6 lifts your serotonin, and has omega 3S in it–the same thing in walnuts that makes them good for your spirits.
  • Saffron. This spice found commonly in Spanish dishes is thought to help alleviate depression. 
  • Shrimp. Like salmon, shrimp is known to supply B6, a serotonin-elevating agent.

A healthy diet can do more than lift your mood–it can give you the energy you need to lead to a happier, fuller life. It can also lead to lower medical bills and fewer health insurance co-pays.

Drink normal amounts of fluids
Stay hydrated so that your body stays refreshed and working properly.
 
Protect yourself against illnesses
Remember to get the flu shot and wash your hands often.   

Germs in public places
While using public transportation, wipe the seats and handles with sanitizing wipes to prevent coming in contact with germs.

Eat at normal times for you
Continue to eat meals at your normal time.

Watch out for those sweets
Limiting sweets will make you healthier.

Walk around
If you are sedative in places such as planes, after it is clear to get up, walk around.
