With the excitement of the holidays now behind us and a few long winter months ahead, it’s no surprise that many of us start feeling a little blue in January. Did you know that food can serve as a supportive tool in boosting our mood and overall energy? This feel-good chicken pot pie casserole gives all the warm and cozy vibes we crave in the cooler weather. Bonus? It nourishes us with mood-boosting and skin-loving ingredients. It’s the perfect addition to your winter meal plan, offering comfort for the soul and a delicious way to kick the winter blues to the curb.
Let’s dive into the heart of what makes our Feel-Good Chicken Pot Pie Casserole a mood-boosting star. It’s not just about delicious flavours; these ingredients are on a mission to put a pep in your step and a radiant glow, not just to your mood but to your skin.
The star ingredient in our comforting dish, Chicken, offers more than savoury goodness. Rich in tryptophan, an amino acid that’s a precursor to serotonin, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter, it helps foster a positive mood and overall well-being. This makes chicken a tasty addition and a mood-enhancing element in our meals.
Packed with good fats, proteins, and nutrients. They contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 that helps brain health by supporting the production of DHA. They’re also rich in magnesium, which helps reduce stress and anxiety by regulating brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA.
Contains selenium, a mineral linked to cognitive function and mood balance. Mushrooms can also produce Vitamin D2 when exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) light, contributing to their potential as a dietary source of this essential vitamin, which is associated with serotonin production for mood regulation.
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for brain function and mood regulation. Additionally, carrots provide antioxidants that support overall brain health.
Although our primary focus with our clients in The Clear Skin Solution is achieving clear skin, we also guide our clients in developing effective ways to manage stress and to fuel themselves with delicious, nourishing, blood sugar-balancing meals that not only love on their skin but support their overall health.
