Plug In, Baby!

Because I'm a twenty-something in the middle of a crisis...

fish, anyone?

fight depression by eating more fish. moods are directly influenced by fish oil. studies have shown that if you have a diet rich in fish, chances are your serotonin levels are high as well. serotonin is a feel-good hormone released by the brain…

that was in the fitness lifestyle section of the inquirer the other day. i was in the middle of my daily morning ritual of breakfast, hot chocolate and newspaper-reading when i felt a very cartoony light bulb light up on top of my head.

so that’s it! i just have to eat more fish. no, scratch that, i just have to eat fish. no wonder i felt like i was having more bouts of depression than the usual person. it might also be just all in my head but this actually makes sense.

hmm… maybe i’ll do just that. i’m trying to start living a healthier lifestyle. i’ve been sleeping very late and breaking out in the process, eating junk the whole day and just not getting enough exercise. after all, how I treat my body now will show in the next few years, if not in the present.

seriously, i don't want to look 40 when i'm 30. and you know that might become reality soon when the waitress actually pauses for a few minutes, trying to decide whether to give the check to you or your mother and ends up handing it over to you. (yowza!)

yep. healthy. that's the only way to go from now on.
