do you think food can make you feel better? I do. I have some meals that lifts my spirits. Most are from my childhood. There are some comfort food that literally energises me and I have a new outlook and I am able to deal with the issue head on.
Anybody has similar experiences?

With you...100% there, and tend to lean more to comfort foods, when the weather turns chilly. Nothing like the anticipation of "home-made soups" or a big pot of stew, and the aroma of home-made bread baking (things I don't do in the summer)! They ease the pain of "jack-frost" nipping at your nose and toes! Improves one's outlook towards the cold-winter days. Cheers!

I agree, when the weather gets bad and cold like porridge and soups. Makes me feel great.

oh yeah i really think so and i agree with you! in my case, there are times that i crave for some foods and when i was not able to have those foods that i like to eat, i feel bad and feel kinda depressed! haha but when i finally have them, i feel like life is really easier and lots of fun.
sometimes when i am feeling so down, some foods can make my mood changed and makes me feel better...one of it is ice cream! hehe

Food can be a comfort to us. we look to food in happy occasions. we also look to food to releive the tension we feel. Sometimes all it can take is our favorite food to make us feel a bit better about ourselves.@naturalbella889 (135)

Hello Natural Bella
First of all welcome to myLot and have nice myLotting and hope we ll see you around with some good and quality discussions and post...:)
Well, I agree with you that there are some food which really have like spiritual effect on us. We have some traditional food which are now a days only cooked in our villages, when ever I go to my home town, I always tend to eat those foods and they really make me happy and energetic and thats why when ever I come back from my home town to work it always looks fresh and healthy, and every things looks new to me...:)
Have a nice day friend..:)

I think it does. Take chocolates for example it makes you feel better after a depressing break up. And comfort food just relaxes me after a long day of work.
