I am thoroughly convinced that you can\u2019t be sad when you are holding a cupcake or a bowl of ice cream.\u00a0 It is impossible to do.\u00a0 And that is why I highly suggest that anyone having a hard day go out and get either a cupcake or a bowl of ice cream and then you will find that you can\u2019t be sad anymore today.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s amazing the influence that certain foods can have on us. Certain foods have the ability to evoke all kinds of emotions. For example, I think of comfort foods such as pot roast and mashed potatoes that make me feel safe because that was our go-to meal growing up for our Sunday family dinner.\u00a0 I think of get well soon foods such as chicken soup and crackers that always had a way of making your tummy feel better. And then of course I think of ice cream cones which always makes me feel happy!\u00a0 Yes, food is music to our bodies.<\/p>\n
Speaking of music, music does the same thing to our emotions as food.\u00a0 Music can influence our moods in a major way.\u00a0 A cheerful song can make us smile, a song with a beat makes us want to get up and dance around, and a sad song can make us cry.\u00a0 Music is food to our hearts.<\/p>\n
