Prac Report

INTRODUCTION

My group research question for emotional investigation is "how different food affects your mood?" In this investigation we are measuring people 's emotion with consuming different foods. We are measuring sadness to happiness by giving some people yoghurt and tea, and finding out how those foods affect their mood. SAD stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder and is the feeling you show when you are not happy. There are many examples to show for cause and effect relationship between mood and food. In this report I will explain how tea and yoghurt affects your sad mood? Tea contains an ingredient called L-Theanine. L- Theanine is one of the major amino acid components in green tea or black tea.

From figure1 we can see test 1 and test 2 the result is an increase because the food can bring their contents to change your brain structure (chemically and physically). For example brain chemicals influence the way we think, feel and behave, they can be affected by what we 've eaten . Yoghurt is a good source of protein which can help sustain your good mood by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates in the bloodstream. In particular vitamin D seems to help the type of depression called "Seasonal Affective Disorder" or SAD, which is contained in yoghurt. In conclusion, there is some more evidence saying that the weather may also affect your mood. We also measured their mood with doing the "mood test " / http://www.testcolor.com/ from there we can also see how their mood look like

    -2) Lactose Tolerance Test: This test takes a baseline level of glucose and measures the levels of glucose in your blood every 30 minutes for about 90 minutes. Since lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose, people who properly digest lactose see a rise in glucose levels because lactose is being broken down, followed by a slight decrease in glucose levels as it is being absorbed. However, people who don’t properly digest lactose will not see a rise in glucose levels because lactose remains intact. *Look at picture in notes for a visual representation*…

    A key biological factor of happiness is linked to a healthy lifestyle and eating the right food. Exercising and eating right increases the body’s level of endorphins, which naturally gives us a boost. Certain foods stimulate the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin regulates mood, appetite and sleep, and is what produces the feelings of happiness and satisfaction within us. If we have low levels of serotonin we feel depressed and anxious. Judith Wurtman (1996) (cited in starting psychology 2011) found a connection between low levels of serotonin and a diet low in carbohydrates. People on high fat, high protein, low carbohydrate diets reported feelings of depression anger and tension which were unusually high. Foods that stimulate serotonin contain a chemical called tryptophan. Foods like fish, nuts, beans, eggs, oats and chocolate all contain this mood boosting chemical. So what we put in our bodies can affect our level of happiness. When Layard states happiness comes from ‘within’ he is drawing on these biological factors.…
