Good Decisions inclined with Healthy Foods

There are a lot of people thought that eating was only designed for the pleasure or on the contrary, the extreme distress of our digestive tract and our figures, think again! Base on the recent study eating can be the key to making good decisions. This means that there may be some truth after all in the whole string of clichés about “our stomach overruling our heads”, or “thinking on an empty stomach”. The key to this interesting discovery lies with a brain chemical called serotonin, which is responsible for controlling anger, aggression, mood, sleep, as well as appetite and metabolism.

When you skip meals this will lowers the level of serotonin in the brain, encouraging impulsive, reckless behavior, which in turn leads to making bad decisions. Serotonin compounds can be found in a variety of foods, such as red meat, nuts, seeds, dairy products, tuna, shellfish and soy products – so it’s best to not leave such foods out of our daily diets in order to keep our brain working at full capacity.

In the other hand, serotonin is also known as the “happy hormone” – too much and we all become recklessly euphoric, too little and we get depressed. Therefore, we should not to starve our brains by abstaining from essential foods, because the effects could be very serious in the long term.
