When Food Affects Your Mood
Don't eat when you're angry, sad, scared, or anxious. These emotions all shut down digestion. When you are emotionally out of balance, it is better not to eat at all. When we eat sugar, our immune system can be depressed for up to six hours. This is the exact same effect as when we're angry. Next time you're feeling poorly, don't reach for that doughnut. It could have consequences for the rest of your day!

In times of anger or frustration, the following prayer can help raise your spirits:
Father God, I thank You for sustaining me today. I thank You that You are made perfect in my weakness. Your grace is sufficient for me. I thank You that Your steadfast love never ceases and Your mercies are new every morning. You say in Your Word that mourning may come for a night, but the new day will bring gladness. Bless me with a healing night's sleep. Restore unto me the joy of my salvation. Help me to stay on the path that leads to life.

Jordan's Tip of the Day
From the author of The Maker's Diet
Step Away From Your HungerFor some people, food and stress go hand in hand. If your relaxation routine involves eating an entire quart of ice cream or a whole bag of cookies, try some simple alternatives: Get away from your kitchen and other places that you normally associate with food. Take a walk or call a friend on the telephone. Both activities will help elevate your mood, and they won't add unhealthy calories to your diet.
