BOOST THAT CONFIDENCE
A low-fat, low-protein, high on carbohydrates snack will make you less worried and definitely boost up your confidence levels. When high on carbohydrate foods are accompanied by low fat and low protein, they clear all amino acids from the body and allow tryptophan to flood your brain, where it morphs into serotonin that boosts mood and calms you. It helps you tolerate pain and even sleep better. A slice of whole wheat bread with some honey or a bowl of popcorn for your dose of tryptophan will solve the problem. A whole bran muffin will also do wonders for your energy and taste. Chocolate contains a host of chemicals to brighten your mood including anadamine, which targets the same receptors as THC, and phenyl-ethylamine, that produces a warm, euphoric feeling.

FOOD TO CURB THE RESTLESS
Anti-oxidants from bright-colored fruits and vegetables help fight free radicals that damage memory. Sticking to fat-free choices will be a healthy option. Get it from Popcorn without butter. Pineapples, strawberries and other fruits and vegetables are included in the list. Baked potatoes or eggs are also good and filling too. Apples also pack in the same stuff.

ENERGY BOOSTING FOOD
You need more iron in your diet. Iron boosts your blood count which in turn helps stave off fatigue to keep your energy levels up. Beans and dark leafy veggies are very good in this regard. But a good source of bio-available iron is animal fat. So eat your veggies with some meat. For vegetarians, adding a high Vitamin C food such as citrus fruit or juice, melons, berries, or tomatoes will be a good option. For making run away that fatigue, a glass of water is of great help.

WANDERING IN THE BED, GET SOME SLEEP WITH FOOD
Eat a small low-fat, low-protein, high-carbohydrate snack before bedtime. Increase your copper intake, too. People who have a low copper intake are more likely to have a hard time getting to sleep and feel less rested when they wake up.
Bananas or oatmeal cookies give you soothing, drowsy effects. Or have a cup of warm milk with honey before you go to bed. Milk helps in managing your tryptophan levels and makes you sleep better. Nuts, chickpeas, beans and peas are some good sources of copper.
Big meals can keep you awake at night while your tummy churns away the overload. Eat a bigger breakfast and lunch and stick to light dinner routine.

FEELING IRRITABLE, SHOO IT AWAY
Caffeine is a stimulant for some people, but it may make others irritable, especially if they are already depressed. And sugar, which normally has a soothing effect, can cause depression in some people. If you have a short fuse and are depressed, cut out caffeine and sugar for about 2 weeks. If you feel better, then get a small amount back, but if you return to biting off heads, consider yourself off the stuff permanently. Get your selenium count up, instead. Wholegrain cereals, nuts and seeds will give you the dose of selenium to balance out your mood.
