Healthy food for a healthy mood

15 Mar

Normally I don’t write about food, but today I realized it can help you get in a better mood. Every time I walk home from the local organic store, I feel so healthy. Even though I haven’t eaten anything inside the big paper bag yet. I feel like: look at me being all fit! Since I’ve learned from the Law of Attraction that your mindset creates your world, I thought it’s worth it dedicating a post to a healthy lunch. Hopefully this can help you get into the same state and contribute to your health.

And then… just blend it up! It’s as easy as that. I love to put Goji berries in the smoothie as well, but I didn’t have them today. I promise you, after having this health boost for lunch, you’ll be full for the next few hours!

Not so familiar with superfoods? I found this great article that talks about what superfoods are and if they’re really so good for our health. Since health starts with a state of mind, I think that if you believe in the power of antioxidants, you’ll probably feel the effect to some extent. I’m just as sceptic as you are. We can’t expect a blueberry to prevent us from getting cancer when we sleep with a BlackBerry next to our head. But lets face it: we all have to eat. And I believe this is healthier than fast food.

jum!

happy bowl

I have to say that (1) I’m not a pro at cooking. I literally just throw all the ingredients together and mix it up. How much of each ingredient do I add? Just what feels right that day. And (2) I have issues with pictures of food. Not salads, smoothies, sweet stuff like cupcakes or other deliciousness. I mean pictures of your dinner. It just never looks that flattering – except in magazines. I bet it tasted great, but looking at your greasy home made cheese burger – with all kinds of stuff sticking out – makes me nauseous. I know there are a lot of people who experience the same thing, so I won’t post pictures of the end result, just of the ingredients. Sorry if I gave you a bad after taste now xD

Since I don’t drink coffee, I use this funny travel mug for smoothies

I always share my banana with this little fellow: my sweet pet rabbit

In addition to this post I found a site with great health & nutrition quotes. One of my favorites: “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”  ~Jim Rohn

I wish you a healthy day!  xo

    Healthy eating is the way to go! It doesn’t mean I don’t eat sugar periodically, but I feel so much worse afterwards. Our body depends on food created by an open mind … keep it as pure as possible!

      I enjoy going to McDonald’s once in a while xD It’s not a bad thing. As long as you have a good base (variety and healthy diet).

    Great Post :) I am a fan of healthy food, although I should vary my diet a little more. Another blogger NJGIRL has got me back into vegetable & fruit juicing, which is yummy. I like your smoothie cup, the wording represents me! :)

    Here is a blog I follow (she is also LOA) http://blissreturned.wordpress.com/ I think you will like it.

    This is absolutely true, and it is good advice!
    If more people would eat more healthy foods,
    they would have a lot less need for doctors
    and modern medicine!

    Everything we need was given to us by Mother Earth…
    fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts & seeds…
    You can live a very healthy life…by only eating those things!

    Keep up the great job on your blog!

      Thank you for your feedback. I also wonder sometimes how life would be if we would only eat those product you describe as given to us by mother earth. I do think it would be healthier and you probably won’t get obese from eating berries.
      However, I don’t think that organic food only, can get rid of diseases. I can be wrong about this of course, I don’t have all the answers, but as I say in the blog: we can’t expect a blueberry to prevent us from getting cancer when we sleep with a BlackBerry next to our head.
      In these times it’s hard to not have your phone with you non-stop! But with eating more healthy I hope to do at least one thing to improve my life.

        Well, at least you are making an effort…Bravo!

      • thinkwonderfulthoughts March 18, 2012 at 11:27 pm #

        Yeah, I think making an effort will have a positive effect. Sending out positive feelings about something should bring back situations that mirror that. So let’s hope =D

    I like your unique take on spirituality. Good for you for doing what works for you.

      Thanks! I haven’t been eating organic very long, but it’s a nice experiment.
