Asparagus - This vegetable is rich in folate and tryptophan – two invaluable mood boosting nutrients, essential for your body to produce the neurotransmitters that control your moods and behaviors. Don’t eat enough and those low levels are going to make you pretty irritable. Did I mention asparagus is also known as one of the most natural healthy aphrodisiacs?
Sunflower Seeds- A great one to keep on hand for a quick snack, these little kernels contain an amino acid that creates high levels of serotonin which in turn eases tensions, relaxes nerves and prevents depression. All that power in one little seed! Somehow they even manage to fit in Selenium, a nutrient that is thought to almost instantly improve moods. Healthy, tasty, budget friendly and happiness boosting. What more would you look for in a snack?
Spinach - Apparently there’s not much this vegetable isn’t good for! It’s a beneficial power house, rich in iron and the two main components that are vital to improving your moods; folic acid and magnesium. All you need is to eat is two cups of spinach a day to reach your folic acid quota and you’ll feel more relaxed and positive all day long. Just sauté a few handfuls of spinach and add into your breakfast omelette or smoothie to get your day off to a good start.
