Feeling well is very important to health. When we feel well, our outlook is often more health-oriented. This allows us to further our health promoting decisions. When we continuously feel down, however, our will and determination can decrease. This can lead to excessive eating and other unwanted behaviors that can degrade health over-time. This article will show you some ways that you can quickly reverse this trend and start feeling well from the inside out. With this standpoint, staying on track with your health goals becomes much easier. Let's get started.
Our feeling state, to a big degree, can determine our level of will power with any diet or health strategy. We do not need to be feeling down in order to become more vibrant, or lose weight etc. We can start feeling great today, even before we reach our goals. This will likely actually help us to reach them faster.
With regard to feeling well and using that as a mechanism for achieving even better health, we can turn to food. Though food can sometimes be used as a distraction, certain foods can actually aid us in becoming more aware and in tune with reality and increase our focus on things that are productive.
Of all these foods, one of them that seems to have some of the most notable properties is cacao. This is the original name of the nut (called a bean) that chocolate comes from. This, and all high-quality chocolate foods, can be very powerful for offsetting feelings of doubt and apathy. It is a food that can truly promote feelings of vitality and often does this very quickly. With regard to this, raw chocolate or raw cacao contains the highest and purest feel-good attributes of all forms of chocolate. This, however, is a general statement as some forms of raw cacao are not of very high quality and do not react well with certain people. In that case, traditional dark chocolate might actually be a better choice. Still, high quality raw cacao (usually heirloom varieties) that tastes somewhat like dark chocolate without strong or excessive off-tasting flavors (this can be an indication of quality and overall nutrition), is very nutritious and is an incredibly pure and true from of chocolate. This food, when eaten along with a strong motivation to feel well and increase your own health can be a very useful aid. It can inspire dreams and ideas of hope which will encourage you to deal with potential setbacks.
While not wanting to use this article to detail chocolate's nutritional profile, it has an outstanding list of factors which influence our feeling state. Particularly, it contains very high amounts of the mineral magnesium which is often deficient in many people's diets and is a very calming and centering mineral. It also contains PEA, which is known to create feelings of well-being as well as the endorphin anandamide which is also associated with feelings of well-being. Furthermore, chocolate contains MAO inhibitors which increase the amount of time that dopamine and other feel-good neurotransmitters can flow before getting recycled. Beyond that, chocolate might be the highest known source of anti-oxidents out of all commonly eaten foods. This isn't usually directly related to well-being, but stress can result in the increased need for anti-oxidents. Oxidative stress, for some people, might induce overall stress.
Chocolate can be incredible for this purpose, however, if you are just supplementing with foods to feel well without using them to define an empowering direction for yourself, they might only give short term benefits. The key is utilizing them, in part, to increase your sense of empowerment that can be used to further your own success.
