DID YOU KNOW?
Comfort Food - How Carbohydrates Affect Your Mood
by
Jeannie Triska
|
With all the recent media attention on low carbohydrate diets, it's easy to overlook a simple nutritional truism: The most healthful diet is one that is well-rounded, low in salt and fat, and mindful of portion sizes. So it's interesting to note that the foods most people consider "comfort food" - ice cream, chocolate, pizza, bread - are loaded with carbohydrates. There's a reason for that:
Carbohydrates break down into sugars in the bloodstream, which in turn control neurotransmitters in the brain. Chief among these is serotonin, which determines whether you feel alert and energetic or tired, irritable and cranky. Carbs also drive other chemical processes in your body, as well. Foods that flood your system with sugar, such as glazed donuts or pancakes with syrup, will initially give you a sugar rush thanks to a spike in insulin in your bloodstream. But several hours later, as the insulin levels drop, you'll inevitably begin to feel tired, weak or even lightheaded and dizzy.
|
So if carbohydrates are important for helping to regulate mood and energy, what are the best kinds to have and the best ways to consume them? The preferred sources of carbs for maintaining a stable blood sugar level include whole grain breads and crackers, beans, apples, peaches and other fruits. And as in life, timing is everything. Eating small meals and snacks every four hours, rather than one big carb-fest, ensures a steady flow of insulin through your system.
There's no denying that low-carb diets have never been more popular. However, if you are on a low-carb diet and find your energy levels or moods have changed, consult your physician. The old adage, "You are what you eat" has never been more true.
Remember, the EAP is here to help you be the best you can be. Your EAP is available to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
