The Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Organic fruits and vegetables that are eaten raw are especially good for us. This is

mostly how I eat and I really love the effects of it. I have lots of energy, I feel good, and overall it's just great for me.

However, I wasn't this way my entire life.

When I was growing up, my dad used to make these potatoes on special occasions. What he did is he

sliced up a bunch of potatoes, he put them into a vat of very unhealthy oil and cooked

them and then we ate them, dripping with that oil.

It tasted great as a kid, but it wasn't very good for me.

So over the years I've learned to eat better

and my body's gotten so used to eating healthy that when I eat something that's very

rich, it tends to make my stomach upset.

But what I tend to find is that when people drink some of the juice that I make in the morning, a blend of raw organic fruits and vegetables,

they tend to think it's not very good.

I'm very used to it, but they aren't.

So what do eating our veggies have to do with happiness? A lot really.

Our minds are just like our bodies if we feed them good material, healthy, positive, loving, images, thoughts, we do well. If we don't, we don't. For example,

I'm a clinical psychologist and I work with children who are often from divorced families.

What happens is sometimes on the weekends the fathers take their kids to movies which are clearly

inappropriate for these kids to watch because what happens is when they come into therapy

the first thing they want to share with me is the movie that they watch.

They may seem excited about it, but you can clearly tell that they need to get it off their

chest and how it scared them or made them upset because they really were too young for it.

But as adults, we're really not any different than children.
