What we eat and how we eat is going to affect how we think. Eating right can even help you along the path of positive thinking. When you eat clean and healthy real raw foods, you cleanse your body of toxins and you will be able to think clearer. You will also be able to get rid of toxic emotions and become more present in your body and in your thoughts.
We are what we eat. This is a very true saying and is probably something that you are familiar with. What we put in our bodies is going to translate into how we act, how we look, how we think and even how we feel.
For example, a diet of sodium rich foods is going to affect you in more ways than one. It could leave you bloated and water heavy. It can also cause hypertension and it may precipitate the development of cardiovascular diseases. It can also affect your mood. The same goes for foods that are high in fat or high in sugar. Sugary foods can cause fluctuations in your mood and sugar crashes can leave you feeling tired. It will also send you craving for more of the stuff. It is a vicious cycle that just wont end unless you make an effort to change how you eat.
If you find yourself always being negative or if you are currently experiencing depression, you can merit from a change in your diet. Trade up from a processed breakfast meal to a much healthier fresh fruit or Green Smoothie. Grab an apple or a handful of nuts before you leave the house. With those in your pocket, you can effectively keep yourself from going for a candy bar, a sugary donut or Grande Macchiato when you get hungry.
When you choose raw food, you are also making the choice to cleanse your body. Remove the toxins that processed food has left in your system. The toxins in your system can make you feel very negative. It can make you cranky and it can also leave you feeling sad.
When you do not eat healthy, it can also leave you deficient of important vitamins and minerals. And deficiencies can lead to emotional issues. Some people with depression have even attributed their mental state to a lack of certain vitamins in their diet or to an overload of sugar and stimulants.
Eating raw foods can also help make you think clearer. This happens because your body is no longer so laden with toxins. Raw foods will also help replenish some of the enzymes and vitamins that are lacking in your body because they are deficient in cooked food.
Think before you put something in your mouth. Consider the consequences of eating fried take out or of drinking your 5th cup of coffee for the day. Consider how it is going to affect you and how you think. Make positive choices and include more real foods in your meal plan. Once you do, youll find yourself feeling much better. Youll be more positive in your outlook in life. It can even leave you feeling happier and more fulfilled.
