Curb the Christmas blues by keeping these three foods to a minimum

Elvis Presley’s Blue Christmas might have been more cheerful if he had cut back on his famous fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches.

Nutritionist Deborah Enos says one of the best ways to dodge the Christmas blues is to keep these three foods to a minimum…

1) Refined grains

2) Soft drinks

3) Fast food

High intake of simple carbohydrates is linked to depression. And eating carbs makes you crave carbs, so it just sets up a vicious cycle.

Of course, carb intake is not the only source of holiday blues. But curb the carbs and you’re more likely to be of good cheer.
