Orange juice, guacamole, lemonade, indulgent cheesecake and a juicy, country tomato with a little salt- make me feel happy (not all at the same time though- that would just make me feel sick.)
An egg in the morning on occassion is very energizing.

Herbal solutions for stress/nervousness:
Chamomile tea; good taste, and calms nerves.
Valerian - a natural tranqualizer, ( Valium is the chemical version)

Dark Chocolate is especially good for helping to lower your cholesterol & bad-mood as well. I think that most fiber-rich foods would have a positive effect on our moods to some degree.

The "8-10 cups of water daily" myth has been debunked dozens of times, but so-called "experts" keep resuscitating that zombie again and again. Let it die, please.

So, what you're saying is we should ignore the fact that drinking a set amount of water each day is being proven more and more to be a myth and that, against all realistic advice, we should use food as a way to deal with emotions. Isn't this last exactly what has helped to create a nation of obese people? How about some suggestions on how to deal with emotions that don't involve food?

I agree wholeheartedly with the postings on shameful commercialism. How much did Yahoo get paid for these "less than overt ads"? Give us subscribers some intelligent material.

I agree, with kdw, a totally ridiculous guise for promoting nutrionally deficient products. Want to be healthy? Shop the produce isle instead of buying artificial foods. If your shopping cart is filled with packaged foods, cans and meats, you really need empty your cart and start again. A good place is fruit and veggies, whole grains, beans. That way you'll be eating healthy and recession proofing your eating habits.

Ok, first off, I don't see how anyone in the world could EVER see that anything produced at a fast food place (Mcdonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Sonic, In-n-Out, ect. ect. ect. ) could be even remotely classified as "healthy" or "good for you". Second, bad mood? Go run around with your kids/friend's kids/family member's kids. I do that all the time, good workout, reduces stress. If you get angry at a co-worker, time to find a new job. Angry at an animal, you shouldn't have a pet in the first place. Few people were born with brains, the rest of ya just have to start using it for yourself.

I've discovered that a cucumber & red onion salad with vinegar & oil is a real eye-opener, sorry, I don't have a recipe, but that's easy to find. Just takes 5 minutes to feel the effects.

Oh, I get it, no matter what your feeling there is always something to eat. No wonder obesity is such a problem in the U.S.
Howabout some good old fashion exercise?
