Foods that boost your mood

There are some of the foods which are rich source of the nutrients needed by our body and at the same time these elevate our mood.
Some of the example are as follows.

1. Cashews, Almonds, and Hazelnuts These nuts are rich in protein and magnesium, a mineral that plays a key role in converting sugar into energy. Being low on magnesium can drain your energy. Good sources of magnesium include whole grains, particularly bran cereals, and some fish, including halibut.
2. Brazil Nuts Add Brazil nuts to the mix for selenium, a mineral that may be a natural mood booster. Studies have linked low selenium to poorer moods. Smaller amounts of selenium are also found in meats, seafood, beans, and whole grains. Don’t overdo it: Too much selenium is harmful.Previous page
