Broccoli effects your thoughts and moods by creating higher levels of happiness, creativity and curiosity. No wonder why vegans are always happy.
Broccoli makes you happy? I beg to differ. It is a vegetable, not cake! However, broccoli is good for the health of your brain and controls your moods. It refreshes the mind and allows you to think more clear (which is probably the reason why our parent always say, "eat your vegetables", because they want us to do well in school). Broccoli,like other vegetables, contain high levels of Dopamine. The University of Otago's psychologist, Tamlin Conner, says that, "One possible explanation is the micronutrient content of vegetables and fruits." Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that heightens motivation and improves engagement, hence the reason why it takes a large role of a healthy mind.
When we are stressed we eat desserts. After all, dessert is stressed backwards,correct? Indeed it is! In some foreign countries broccoli is constantly eaten, although in the United States, hardly ever. Since broccoli controls the levels of happiness and creativity, it should be the first item on your grocery list, not ice cream. All sugar does is create happiness for an hour and slowly brings the unhappiness back. Broccoli gives you life long happiness,as long as you continuously eat it. It also reduces bodily inflammation and depression. Next time your feeling down, drop the cookies and pick up a bag of broccoli.  |
