Foods for a better MOOD

Foods for a Better Mood
By Cathy Wong
Oatmeal
Oatmeal may help if you find yourself feeling irritable and cranky. It is rich in soluble fiber, which helps to smooth out blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar into the blood.Oatmeal is also a great food to help you stick with your diet plan, because the soluble fiber in oatmeal forms a gel that slows the emptying of your stomach so you don't feel hungry quickly.Other foods high in soluble fiber are: beans, peas, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apples.What to try:Add tasty toppings to oatmeal, such as:
Low-fat granola and skim milk
Coarsely chopped apple or unsweetened chunky applesauce with cinnamon
Strawberries and sliced almonds

only success
