Kefir or yogurt...(emotional benefit: we work as a team) - both are high in probiotics which optimize digestion and immune support. Studies show a connection between the health of our gut and the health of our brain & emotions, and that a lack of certain probiotics can be linked to depression.
Nuts/Seeds...(emotional benefit: strong beginnings) - The omega-3 fats provided by any of the seed options have been shown to help combat depression and are effective for overall brain health and better memory.
Vanilla...(emotional benefit: life is good) - one of my favorite spices that I use consistently. Natural vanilla is an anti-depressant that uplifts moods and emotions while simultaneously creating a sense of tranquility.
Cinnamon...(emotional benefit: warm inner strength) can support with stabilizing blood sugar and thus reducing moodiness. It helps emotionally to connect us into our hearts ability to soothe and stabilize our emotions.
Raw honey...(emotional benefit: you shall be provided for) - can help to soothe emotional irritation by reminding you that nature provides what you need. Raw honey can be found in health food stores or your local farmer’s market and has health benefits that can reduce seasonal allergies.
