What we eat can affect our creative energies. The usual suspects—processed foods high in trans fats, artificial ingredients, and excessive amounts of sodium and sugar—can drain us of energy. Those foods can leave us feeling foggy, uninspired, and downright bored, not to mention lethargic, sick, and disease-prone.
In the short amount of time we have here on earth, “I’m bored” seems to be one of the harshest ways to spend a precious, fleeting moment. Whether it’s singing and dancing while we clean the house, creating a piece of art, or changing our approach to eating, thinking outside of the box is a fulfilling and healthy part of the human experience.
Give some of these healthy creativity-boosting foods a try and see how they may help you find more inspiration and clarity.

Foods rich in complex carbohydrates provide the brain with a steady stream of glucose throughout the day. Unlike simple carbohydrates (we’re talking to you, refined sugar and flours), complex carbs take longer to break down and can be better regulated by the body and the brain.
