Many people have become dependent on anti-depressants and sugar fixes for feeling good. But we need to remember to work at being our healthiest, and these tips may be just what the shrink ordered:
- Regular exercise is a great way to elevate your mood. Even if your motivation levels are low and you find it difficult to muster the energy to head out the door, the rewards are well worth the effort. Exercise increases the circulation of natural endorphins, which are responsible for making us feel happy.
- Eating can also affect your mood. Not eating enough or often enough, and consuming unbalanced meals, can negatively affect blood sugar levels. This can leave you feeling tired and sometimes unable to concentrate as well as you normally do.
