■ Depression-the first choice of food: spinach
We can't guarantee that a bowl of favorite food will make your paperwork disappear, but nutritionist Patrick Holford said, "Spinach is rich in magnesium, which is a mineral that can relax people's body and mind. Spinach and some dark green leafy vegetables are the main sources of magnesium, such as kale. " Spinach is also rich in another antihypertensive nutrient: vitamin C.
How to eat: stir-fry a vegetable with high fire and prepare a handful of fresh or frozen spinach. Sprinkle spinach on vegetables at the last minute before cooking, so that the nutrition of vitamin C will not be destroyed by high temperature.

■ Sadness and depression-preferred food: bananas

Self-esteem frustration and depression are both related to low serotonin levels. 5- hydroxytryptamine is an organic substance derived from tryptamine acid.

Mood-stabilizing food-the taste of mom
When encountering setbacks in work or life, coping attitudes can be divided into overcoming and giving up. Those who can break through the tight encirclement and go forward bravely have commendable courage for the obstacles that stand in front of us, and what supports this courage is "the smell of mother."
Speaking of the smell of mother, its definition is easy to be misunderstood. The so-called "mom's taste" here refers to mom's "unique flavor dishes", not traditional foods such as noodles or braised beef noodles. In other words, it refers to those people who are deeply impressed by the flavor of home-cooked dishes from childhood to adolescence, especially those dishes full of happiness. Many dishes cooked by my mother have this taste. No matter how expensive the processed food is, it is difficult to replace this memorable taste.
This nostalgic food or dish can be called "emotionally stable food". Because eating such dishes will stabilize your mood. Especially when encountering setbacks, eating this stable food can give you the courage to overcome difficulties and setbacks. It can be said that people who can eat emotionally stable food are the lucky ones on the journey of life.
Now most adults used to have this kind of stable food, but with the progress of civilization and the standardization of diet, the taste of mother has been gradually diluted. It is doubtful whether modern new human beings who have grown up in this environment can face setbacks in the future. From this point of view, when raising children, it can be said that it is a subject that new and new human mothers must work hard to impress children by making all kinds of unique flavors by hand as much as possible.
At present, it is very convenient to process food, including hamburgers, fried chicken pieces, curry rice, beef noodles, quick-frozen jiaozi, steamed buns, dumplings and steamed dumplings. There is nothing wrong with the prepared food itself. The problem lies in the life of partial eclipse, especially all meals are made with this processed food, and there is a nutritional deviation.
The so-called "steady food" means that when you encounter setbacks and depression in your work or life, what kind of food and flavor you eat can be improved and overcome; This "stable food" is "the taste of mother".
Here, I suggest that housewives wash their hands and make soup and cook some special foods. Try it first, then cook it for my husband and children to see if it has this effect. If they have it, keep it and do it once in a while to impress their families. This is a stable force and a source of family happiness. Never ignore the latest research that shows that children's emotional instability is related to diet.
Less calcium in the diet will inhibit the excitement of brain nerves. There is enough calcium in the brain, which is easy to maintain emotional stability. Calcium deficiency can lead to emotional anxiety, irritability and general weakness.
Excessive intake of sugar in the diet, such as desserts and drinks, raises blood sugar in the body. In order to lower blood sugar, the pancreas must secrete a lot of insulin, which causes excessive secretion of pararenin, thus causing irritability, anger and emotional instability.
B vitamins are deficient in sugar and take in too much. If they want to become calories, they must take in B vitamins. If there is a lack of B vitamins in the diet, it will lead to high mood and out of control.
People with vitamin C deficiency often consume vitamin C when they are nervous. If vitamin C in the diet is insufficient, brain function will be reduced and mood will be unstable.
Emotional control diet is conducive to scientific health.
Dietary mood refers to the emotional state maintained by the eater during eating, that is to say, the eater keeps a quiet and happy mood for a certain period of time before and after eating, which is helpful for the digestion and absorption of food. This kind of mood is calm and gentle, comfortable and pleasant. Sun Simiao, a medical sage in the Tang Dynasty, once said: "Anger leads to anger, joy leads to anger, sadness leads to anger, shock leads to anger, and thinking leads to anger stagnation." When the human body is in a state of abnormal qi and blood, the digestive function will be affected to some extent. Probably everyone has had this experience. When the mood fluctuates, even if there are all kinds of delicious food on the table, I don't know what it tastes like.
Diet can bring physical pleasure. Arabs hold banquets. Before eating, everyone sings and dances around the bonfire. When eating, they have a particularly good appetite. People in China drink and laugh at the banquet, and eat the atmosphere.
On the contrary, diet will cause physical discomfort and great mood swings. For example, Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, was put in prison because of his outspoken crimes, and agreed with his son that if there was a dangerous letter, he would blindly add fish when delivering food to the prison. My son forgot to tell his family about it when he went out. When delivering meals at home, Dongpo specially made a fish that Dongpo loved to eat and sent it to the prison. When Dongpo saw the fish, he thought that the disaster of killing was coming and he was very frightened. Later, after the mountain prison, he never ate fish for life.
In feudal times, the night before the execution of the condemned man, there was a particularly rich dinner and a pot of wine, but as soon as the prisoner saw the food and wine delivered, he knew that his end was coming. Most people will burst into tears, and few people can swallow it. This kind of emotional response accompanied by the process of feeling is called the "emotional tone" of feeling by psychologists.
In order to keep a good mood when eating, it is necessary to study people's psychological state when eating. It's not easy for people attending a banquet to sit in the best mental state all the time. In order to keep the guests in the best state during the banquet, we should pay attention to various factors that affect people's psychological state. If the banquet is held on time, the banquet environment is beautiful, clean and comfortable, the music is beautiful, the dishes are delicious, the shape is beautiful and moving, and the colors are rich and colorful. , so that the eater always maintains a good mood and a strong appetite. Creating a good eating environment and maintaining a happy eating mood are very important for everyone's health and longevity. As a eater, we should try our best to get rid of bad emotions during eating, so as not to affect the digestion and absorption of food, the taste and elegance of food, and the physical and mental health.
Music is an indispensable additive to food. What kind of music to choose at the party is very particular. Music experts believe that soft and brisk music can arouse quiet and happy emotions and is conducive to the digestion and absorption of food. At many important banquets, light music, such as serenade and waltz, is played, while at the state banquet in China, elegant national music is played.
Music has been used to accompany meals since ancient times. In Chinese and foreign history, when grand banquets are held, music is always used to entertain them. When Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty held a thousand banquets, there were nearly a hundred bands playing orchestral, stringed and bamboo instruments alone.
In ancient China, the Taoist school of Dan once played soft and interesting music with a set of "notes" to match food, and said that it could "cultivate the temperament, melt like a drunk, become immortal, return to the Sect with vigor, and forget the worries with joy". Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, listed rites and music as the first of the six arts, which is a symbol of civilization. As Confucianism became the spiritual pillar of the feudal dynasty, the palace banquet was bound to be a great gift and a happy event, and Zhong Ming Shi Ding became a symbol of the official. In the unearthed Han Dynasty portrait bricks, stone reliefs and tomb murals, there are many scenes of music and dancing to help wine, and even folk weddings and funerals must be accompanied by bands to set off the atmosphere.
In ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, music was indispensable in the dining or banquet of the aristocratic class. Therefore, the masters of classical music wrote many relaxing songs as the background music for dining. The early symphonies have an indissoluble bond with diet. 1762 One night in the spring, the Duke of Esterhazzi of Austria (now Hungary) held a grand banquet in his luxurious mansion. At the banquet, Haydn, the new band captain and conductor, led the musicians to play his wandering songs and symphonies specially written for the banquet. Haydn's cheerful, lively and humorous music won the appreciation of the guests. With the help of relaxed music, the host and guest enjoyed themselves and returned home satisfied, which once became a much-told story. Later, two other great musicians, Liszt and Mozart, also created some relaxing banquet music.
Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist and psychologist, studied the process of digestion in his early days and found some evidence to illustrate the relationship between music and digestion. He found that if music can arouse a happy mood, it will promote the secretion of digestive juice and make food easier to digest.
The "peristalsis" of the stomach is of course much slower than the rhythm of the heartbeat. According to the research of psychologists, this kind of peristalsis will be influenced by the rhythm of music. If a person listens to some music that can cause pleasant reactions while eating, and can get a sense of peace from it, then the concert will help digestion better.
Music language can reflect the changes of atmosphere, color, mood and image, and make the viewer's diet mood fluctuate with melody, intensity, rhythm and dynamic size, which constitutes the relationship between music and diet psychology. Psychologists have also found that music is really good for digestion, but the choice of music between meals must be a kind of stimulation without excessive rhythm. Phonetic notation is a kind of background music, which is practical and floats in a limited space. People in this space are usually passive or even forced to be influenced by it. The music at dinner should be soft and slow, and the intensity of the music should not interfere with normal conversation, but a small string band, piano or harp is more suitable. If the music is too loud, it is difficult to achieve the expected purpose.
It can be seen that in terms of diet, dietary psychology is particularly sensitive to table music. In a restaurant with elegant environment and quiet atmosphere, if slow music is played on the stereo, customers who are eager to eat will be calm, take their time to order food, wait patiently and savor it carefully; On the contrary, disco and rock music with strong rhythm and excitement, even for drunken customers who deliberately seek excitement, can hardly endure the shock of this strongly stimulating music for a long time, making them dizzy and lose their appetite.
The emotional color and volume of music, as well as the melody order, will directly affect the eating mood and cause the change of eating psychology. In a quiet, soothing and pleasant eating environment, dieters will naturally have an appetite, cultivate their body and mind and gain artistic enjoyment.

Take the amount of meat and eat less acidic food. (Excerpted from Zhao Yan Metropolis Daily) I wonder if you usually feel this way. Hungry or not, I want to have a big meal when my work and life are stressful. If so, you are definitely an emotional foodie. Everything in the world will be a little stale because of an emotional description, especially when emotions collide with diet. In addition to bad taste, it will also be harmful to the body. In this age of paying great attention to health, have you ever thought about the dislocation of mood and diet?
When you are depressed, you need an ice cream for a good reason. This is because your body and brain are controlled by a series of complex chemical reactions and hormones, most of which will affect appetite, mood and energy. According to a scientist's research, when these substances work, they will naturally make you feel anxious, manic or talkative. There are also some foods, especially some high-fat things like cheese, ice diving, chocolate and so on. It can stimulate your body to produce certain substances and make you feel comfortable instantly. Another study shows that hormones in adolescence are at a very typical peak, which increases the chances of self-regulation with food. For example, if you feel anxious, you can get carbohydrates from food, especially sweets, which can stimulate the brain to release many chemical components and play a soothing role; High protein foods, such as butter, cheese and chicken, have the opposite effect. They release a chemical to wake people up. This can fully explain. Why do people always instinctively choose butter and bread when they work late into the night?
In addition to emotional changes, girls' strong desire to eat is closely related to their physiological cycle. After menstruation, your body will undergo biological changes. During this period, some chemical indicators in your body are very low, and it is these indicators that affect your desire and expectation for fat, making you an unscrupulous fast-food dessert lover. Therefore, during this period, your desire for chocolate and biscuits will be more than usual. Because these foods really play a refreshing role, you will unconsciously become addicted. The next time you need to refresh yourself, you will naturally think of these snacks. But if you keep eating when you're not hungry-and it's a high-fat snack, you'll definitely get fat. Another fact is that these foods can only relieve your mood for a while. Once the cake is gone, your bad mood will come back.
Of course, if you are depressed and eager to comfort yourself with food once in a while, there is nothing wrong with it. Unfortunately, regulating emotions in this way will do harm to your health, such as excessive dependence on food, obesity and imbalance of some indicators ... Many of us have been taught to smile and not complain, however, we have soaked the unfortunate consequences in chocolate or butter biscuits. Food always meets our needs, but we never worry that it will hurt us.
After waking up, what we have to do is to get rid of this bad habit of "feeding emotions". If you are depressed, find other ways to replace it before finding food that suits your appetite. Keep a diary, listen to a song and chat with friends on the phone. A doctor who studies interpersonal relationships once pointed out that you should describe your feelings as directly as possible, whether to your friends or parents, and tell them that "I feel bad and need your help", and you will get the deepest "funding" and gain friendship.
Of course, nothing can rule out the process that is easier said than done. Before you chew food, trying to change your mind is the most critical step. When you subconsciously walk to the refrigerator, please ask yourself loudly: "am I really hungry?" "Be sure to speak loudly and wake yourself up from the desire for food. If the answer is "no" (you must be honest), then find something else to do quickly. With the first successful experience, you will gradually give up your existing bad habits.
