You’ve likely heard the age-old saying, “You are what you eat.”The food we eat not only has a direct effect on our physical health but also our mental and emotional well-being. A well-nourished body isn't just healthier; it's also happier. We experience enhanced mood, improved energy levels, and increased vitality.
While we're busy going about our day, it's easy to put convenience ahead of healthy eating. Amidst chaotic family schedules and demanding work commitments, finding time to prepare wholesome meals can feel like an impossible mission. The allure of a quick trip to the Drive-Through or a practically thrown-together meal at home can often win out over a carefully thought out, nutritionally balanced diet and steal our happiness. Even those who planned and are well-versed in cooking have found that ensuring that every meal contains the essential vitamins, minerals and proteins is a guessing game of hope for the best.
Everyone's nutritional needs vary depending on factors such as genetics, age, dietary requirements and lifestyle. Not all healthy options contain all the nutrients our body needs. And we missed out on our happiness doses as well, when we have access to the right nutrients our body releases neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, GABA and more which all help with mood, reduce anxiety and aid to sleep.

Meet some of the Zeal ingredients that promote happiness:
Imagine strolling through your local farmers' market, handpicking fresh, seasonal ingredients to prepare batches of delicious meals and desserts for the entire week. Not only is this approach more nutritious and economical than buying food on the go, but it also fosters a sense of community. Say hello to your neighbors and revel in the camaraderie that comes from supporting local farmers. This sense of connection works wonders for our overall happiness and well-being.
Take a moment each day to reflect on what you're grateful for. Cultivating this habit cultivates empathy, positivity and appreciation for the blessings in your life. Consider incorporating a gratitude practice into your mealtime routine—before you indulge in your delicious creations, take a moment to thank God and mother nature for providing the nourishing ingredients, acknowledge the hands that grow and transport the food and express gratitude for those who lovingly prepare it. This simple act of gratitude not only nourishes your body but also uplifts your spirit.
Certain foods not only provide essential minerals, vitamins and proteins but also contain components that trigger the production of amino acids associated with happiness. For instance:
Did you know that you can retrain your taste buds to crave healthier foods instead of unhealthy ones? It's true! Our taste preferences are not set in stone; they can be influenced and reshaped over time.
Children have more sensitive taste buds, which is why they often prefer blander foods. However, as we grow and are repeatedly exposed to certain flavors through our family and cultural influences, our taste buds become accustomed to certain tastes—whether they are healthy or unhealthy.
As we age, the number of taste buds diminishes, leading us to seek out stronger flavor enhancers like salt, spices, sugar and fat. But here's the good news: taste buds regenerate approximately every two weeks. This means that we have the opportunity to teach ourselves to appreciate new flavors and gradually move away from unhealthy ones.
Take advantage of the Zeal 21-Day Challenge to reset your taste buds. In just 21 days, you'll have the perfect opportunity to adopt new, healthy habits that will be sustainable for the future. By consciously choosing nutritious foods and exposing yourself to a variety of new flavors.
Step away from the distractions and make mealtime a mindful experience. Turn off the TV, put down your cellphone and take a seat at the table to truly savor your meals. By focusing on the quality of the food and the experience of eating, you can cultivate a deeper connection with your body and gain self-awareness about your hunger and fullness cues.
Eating slowly and savoring every bite not only allows your gut to process the food more effectively, but it also enables you to recognize the physical and emotional effects that certain foods have on your body immediately AND after a couple of hours. By eating with intention, you can make more conscious choices about what you put into your body, leading to greater overall well-being and happiness.
Staying hydrated is key to maintaining a positive mood, high energy and overall mental wellness. Dehydration can lead to feelings of irritability, confusion and even sadness. By ensuring you're adequately hydrated, you can support the correct flow of nutrients and hormones in your body, promoting a sense of well-being.
Water plays a crucial role in stimulating and releasing endorphins. Incorporating creative ways to increase water intake can make staying hydrated more enjoyable. For example, Zeal offers a delicious alternative to plain water and can be enjoyed in various ways, such as in mocktails or boost your hydration with Zurvita H2O.
While we may not have control over many external factors that influence our happiness, we do have control over what we put into our bodies. By opting for simple and joyful solutions, we can initiate a 180 transformation in our lives in as little as 21 days.
