Pro -proverb

Proverbs have a tendency to come true as you age.Because they were formed by aged people?:)
How often have we gone through situations and realized that they are apt for particular proverbs.
For example:getting slapped after proposing to a girl-'Show your other cheek when you get slapped on one'!
A more appropriate one would have been-'Do unto others what others do unto you'.
When you fail in an exam-'Try,try,never say die' or a better one would be-'Try,try until you dry out!"
  Some nice thoughts about life:

1. One of my favourites goes like this- Life is what happens to you when you are busy making plans for something else!!
2. Live life KING SIZE!!
3. It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

These are my wife's!I had to force her to fork out these!I will keep adding to these in future.

Foods and moods

Although this topic comes under the domain of a psychiatrist,it is interesting for a layman(me!) as well.
Foods affect mood and the converse is also true.How often have we felt like grabbing something to eat or gone on an eating binge just to beat the stress of something stressful?
When we are depressed,we tend to go for carbohydrates and proteins.The term 'sugar rush' says it all
Chocolate,the staple of love:) releases endorphins which are hormones that make us feel good.These are also released in exercise.
Many foods that lack vitamins,if consumed for a long time cause deficiencies that can affect mental functions .
Carbohydrates release Serotonin and a host of other neurotransmitters.
Fats make the food palatable.Imagine having a pizza without cheese or a dosa without ghee!
