It’s proven that taking good care of yourself increases happiness — and healthy eating is a big part of that.
So try this happiness tip: Cut back on unhealthy snacks. Limit your intake of sweets and sugary treats. Sure, it’s not the most fun tip, and in the short term, you might feel a little less happy when turning down all those tasty temptations. But this tip is proven to be effective.
Sugar actually makes you tired and irritable. People who eat healthier tend to have more energy to deal with challenges and feel more optimistic as a result. By reducing your number of eating moments, your blood sugar levels stay more stable — giving you more energy, boosting your immune system, and making you shine!
