Mood Food

Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel like being lazy all day and not doing anything or where the pressures of life seem so overwhelming that  you just need a break to eat?  Well, before you reach for your favorite comfort food, why not reach for a healthier alternative.

In her article listed here, About.com Guide Cathy Wong recommends "Five Foods for a Better Mood."

1) Oatmeal
2) Walnuts
3) Tea
4) Salmon
5) Lentils
