Top Ten Mood Foods

Cavemen must have been happy men. They had to be.

Not because they 'had' to be or something bad would
happen to them.

They 'had' to be because they ate the kind of food that
makes you feel good.

According to Joy Bauer (no relation to Jack) in her new book
Joy Bauer's Food Cures, eating for a better mood boils down
to these three things:

- keep your blood sugar level by eating every few hours
- eat lots of soluble fiber
- eat lots of omega 3 fats, folic acid, B12 and Vitamin D -
four nutrients that lift your mood.

Here's her list of the Top Ten foods for improving your
mood:

1. Wild salmon (rich in omega 3 fats and vitamin D)

2. Spinach - (rich in folic acid and soluble fiber)

3. Skim milk - (rich in Vitamin D and B12)

4. Ground flaxseeds (rich soluble fiber, omega 3 fats and folic acid)

5. Blackberries (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid)

6. Omega 3 fortified eggs - (rich in omega 3 fats, Vitamin D and B12)

7. Sardines ( rich in omega 3 fats and Vitamin D)

8. Soybeans - (rich in soluble fiber, folic acid and omega 3 fats)

9. Beans (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid)

10. Brussels sprouts (soluble fiber and folic acid)


You'll notice that there are a few 'forbidden fruits' in that list;
foods that were not part of our Original Diet.

But if you played your cards right, you could live a long and
healthy life just eating the foods on that list.

The cool thing about the Caveman Cuisine plan is that, even
though these are listed as 'mood food', they're also 'heart
food', 'lung food', 'brain food', 'help control diabetes,
osteoporosis, obesity and cancer' food.

By eating the way you're created to eat, you don't have to
ask the question "Is this good for my mood?" "Is this good
for my heart?", etc...ad nauseum.

The Caveman Cuisine approach feeds your body as a whole,
not as parts. Disconnecting everything is what got us into
trouble in the first place.

You'll find out which of those Ten are no-nos (and how to
turn them into maybe-maybes, or sometimeses), and how
to respect, protect and reconnect to yourself when you
get the Caveman Cuisine QuickStart Guide and CD, which
are free as part of your 30-day test drive of the Dr. Vince
Caveman Club.

Have a Happy Day!

P.S. I'm sure you noticed the 'golden thread' running through
the list...that Omega-3s play a BIG role in mood, as well as
other brain functions. That's why I take 'em, and recommend
'em...and why they're a big part of the Caveman Cuisine plan.
You'll find out why on the QuickStart CD, or you can learn
