5 Best Mood-Enhancing Superfoods

Sacha Inchi This unique seed thrives on vines in the thick rainforest regions of Southeast Asia and is similar to a nut in flavor, but has a much richer nutritional content. Sacha Inchi contains high levels of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids (20x the omega-3 content as wild salmon) that are protective against systemic inflammation. This is extremely important considering a large body of new research suggests that depression is primarily caused by inflammation. This seed is also full of tryptophan, a precursor for serotonin. Known as “the happy hormone,” Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is thought to stabilize mood and contribute to a sense of happiness and wellbeing.

Matcha LattÃ

Classic Matcha LattÃ

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] There is nothing better than a latte in the morning. It’s warm, tastes great and has that signature foam on the top that gives you that little latte mustache. The only problem with traditional lattes is that they’re packed with caffeine, calories, and fat which are unhealthy for you. Matcha green tea latte is a healthy alternative to getting your mornings started. Coffee gives you a jolt and then totally leaves you in a lurch an hour or so later. A matcha is a much better choice for a 4-6 hour lift, that would abandon you as quickly as the fickle friend coffee. After all, tea is the new coffee. Ingredients 1 1/2 tsp. green tea (matcha) powder 1 Tbsp. hot water (not boiling water) 1 cup milk...

Fresh vs Frozen Fruit and Vegetables – Which are More Nutritious?

By RONI CARYN RABIN Fresh vs Frozen Fruit and Vegetables Freezing can slightly alter the nutritional composition of fruits and vegetables, sometimes in favor of the frozen product and sometimes in favor of the fresh, but over all, “there’s no clear winner,” said Ali Bouzari, who has done studies comparing fresh and frozen produce and now runs Pilot R+D, a culinary research and development company in Sonoma County, Calif. “It really depends which plant you’re talking about.” Nutrients Though vitamins can degrade in fresh fruits and vegetables over time, many nutrients in foods are much harder than most people assume, Dr. Bouzari said. “Minerals like iron are almost bulletproof, and the fiber doesn’t care at all whether it’s heated or frozen,” he said.
