For those days when you are feeling sluggish: Instead of reaching for the second or third cup of coffee, try a spinach salad instead.


If you are PMSing: We all know how that can ruin a whole day or even a couple of days. Well do not despair, but instead eat an egg-salad sandwich. It's normal to crave carbs when you are PMSing, but you should try to control that but opting for the "healthier" carbs and an egg-salad sandwich on wheat bread is perfect!

Feeling a little sad? Whole grain cereal with low fat milk is your best buddy and it will meet your vitamin D and calcium needs.

For the time when you are stressed: do not be weary of chocolate because it will actually help you relax. Obviously the dark chocolate is the healthier choice, but if you really hate dark chocolate then eat your milk chocolate because it will de-stress you.

Are you feeling angry? Reach for that green tea before you lash out and make matters worse.It will help to calm you down and let you think clearly which is a great idea epecially if you are angry at someone like your boss.

There are days when you are just downright cranky: this is the day to grab an apple smear some peanut butter on it and munch on it and after a while your cranky mood will be gone. This can also be used when you are tired and still have a couple more hours to go at school or on the job because it gives that boost of energy that lasts for a long time.

Are you feeling anxious? We all do once in a while. Well salmon will help you with that because salmon is full of omega-3 fatty acids (those things work magic on anxiety).

-Greek yogurt
-asparagus
-honey
