Mood, Food?

Its 8 a.m., school starts in twenty minutes, being late on top of being immensely tired is going to make a terrible-horrible-no good-very-bad day. With only a few minutes to eat breakfast, I grab a pack of peanut butter crackers and head out the door.

While this might seem like a mediocre supplement to a full out sit-down breakfast, the carbs plus protein in peanut butter crackers is a combo that gives lasting energy.

While in class my mind keeps racing and I have trouble focusing.

When you are feeling frazzled or you can’t seem to concentrate, yogurt is a great snack because it’s loaded with DHA omega-3, which is fatty acid that improves brain function and helps one think clearly.

After a long day at school, there usually isn’t much time to relax with schoolwork and other activities. It is important to treat yourself every now and then so stop by the nearest Cold Stone Creamery for their delicious Raspberry Sorbet.

You’ll feel better knowing that carbs such as sugar, starch and fiber release serotonin, the brain chemical that makes a person happy

So try these fast food fixes the next time you wake up to a terrible-horrible-no-good- very- bad day!
