One study, published in a leading medical journal, estimated that 42 million American adults have mood disorders.We see it all around us: The coworker who’s always in a snit about something. Those folks who charge into the elevator before you get off. Impatient people in line at the supermarket. Aggressive and downright mean drivers. It all adds up to an epidemic of what I call “pissy mood syndrome.”Psychologists blame everything from our self-centered habits to the breakdown of traditional family structures. But could food also have something to do with our moods?Nutrients form the building blocks of neurotransmitters, the brain chemicals that regulate our moods and thinking processes. When people get too stressed and eat too many nutrient-poor junk foods, their moods and ability to think clearly can become compromised. The result may include irritability, impatience, anger, anxiety, panic attacks, impulsivity, distractibility, depression, fuzzy thinking, addictive behaviors, and mood swings.Jack Challem’s book, The Food-Mood Solution, explores how too much stress, too little time, and too many junk foods set the stage for bad moods and behavior. His four-step program to improve moods focuses on natural nonproprietary mood-enhancing nutritional supplements, improved eating habits, increased physical activity, and lifestyle changes that buffer against stress.http://jackchallem.com/pages/foodmood/foodmood.html
