Sometimes people find it hard to believe that what we eat can affect our mood. When they read on an information sheet that hemp hearts help people handle stress, some question, “Now how can that be possible?” Roger Snow, Owner and Operator of Rocky Mountain Grain Products draws a relationship between stress and food consumption stating, “People who have trouble with stress often don’t have enough energy.” Snow goes on to describe a viscous self perpetuating cycle between poor food intake, a lack of energy, and increasing stress that leads into a steady downward spiral.
“Lots of times people who call me are overweight and do not like their appearance, so in trying to do something about their appearance, they eliminate breakfast. Other times people eat lots of carbohydrates, such as bread, potatoes, pasta, and rice which release their energy quickly. Well, then they don’t have any energy and people without energy are not very successful at work and they have difficulty being successful with their children and their homes and they get way behind in all their work, dragging themselves around without energy.
“Now if someone like that phones me and I can get them to eat hemp hearts for breakfast in large quantity, they’ll notice the first day they do that that they’ll have lots of energy. People with lots of energy are more likely to be active. People with lots of energy are more likely to be successful at their work or with their families. People with more energy are more likely to be able to handle stress. People with more energy aren’t even tempted to eat those energy boosters that most people use hourly almost, so it’s easy for them to avoid the coffee and the sweets, and the snacks that put people on an energy roller coaster.” Five tablespoons of hemp hearts in the morning is Snow’s recommendation for an abundance of energy to help you meet whatever challenges and joy life throws your way throughout the day.
