What affects our mood?

Your mood can be affected by many things. Just as your physical health is affected by so many things so is your mental health or the way you think, feel, and behave.

The air you breath, food you eat, drinks you drink, how much water you drink, vitamins, and minerals. Behavior of others, natural disaster, the weather, illness, injury, social events, exercise, smoking, drugs, alcohol, medication, things you have been told, genetics, childhood experiences, etc etc.

Basically everything any of your senses has experienced can affect your mood. Your mood is a result of genetic make up and learning. Here's the cool part...you can manage your mood!

The brain and nervous systems are fascinating and ever working to be healthy. People should learn to listen to their bodies and do everything in their power to help their bodies stay healthy.

If you have learned to be grumpy then you can unlearn it if you want!

If there is a physiological reason that you do not feel well then you can seek treatment.
