Good Mood Foods
In the January 14, 2014 Washington Post, author Maya Dangerfield writes about food that can boost your mood. She states, “Researchers have studied the association between foods and the brain and identified 10 nutrients that can combat depression and boost mood: calcium, chromium, folate, iron, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D and zinc. Her article goes on to identify which foods you should eat to make sure you are getting the nutrients you need to boost serotonin and other neurotransmitters the body relies on to help maintain a positive outlook on life. Consult with your doctor or nutritionist for more information for your body. Also, feel free to make an appointment in the EAP for help with talking through some of the issues in your life that are weighing you down.

Tune Up Your Relationship
Let the EAP help you and your partner
Does your relationship need a tune up?” If you are unsure, ask yourself the following questions;
- Do you have the intimacy you’ve always desired?
- Is undivided attention something you give and receive daily?
- Do you and your significant other date regularly?
- Is the communication in your relationship clear, caring, complete and continuous?
Don’t be surprised if you are unable to answer “yes” to all questions. Though we often have the best of intentions, managing careers, children, family obligations and activities of daily life create challenges to making relationships a priority.
Just like vehicles need regular maintenance to run smoothly, relationships also need routine care to stay vigorous. The EAP provides short- term, couples’ counseling to assist you in returning your union to a positive path or helping your bond stay strong. Call the Employee Assistance Program at 410-328-5860 today and schedule an appointment with Sue Walker, Wanda Binns, Maureen McCarren or Monique Church. Whether you have been committed twelve months or forty years, every relationship needs a tune up.
