The foods you eat often affect how your neurons behave and, subsequently, how you think and feel. From your brain’s perspective, food is a drug…

The distinction between what is considered a food (something that your body wants or needs in order to function optimally) or a drug (something that your brain wants or needs in order to function optimally) is becoming increasingly difficult to define. Indeed, the routine use of some substances, such as stimulants and depressants, is so universal that most of us do not even consider them to be drugs, but, rather, actual food. Is coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol, cocoa, or marijuana a nutrient or a drug?

Whoa. What a concept. SEED magazine make some interesting observations here. In fact, it can be very useful to adopt this idea to nutrition and healthy lifestyle. I believe there is a great link between what we eat and how we feel. (Credit: Flickr user Toby)
