Improve Your Mood With Food

Foods rich in tryptophan, like turkey and nuts, help boost serotonin, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter. Healthy fats from avocados and fish support brain health, while whole grains provide steady energy for focus and calmness. In contrast, sugary and processed foods can cause mood swings and fatigue by spiking and crashing your blood sugar. By choosing nutrient-dense, whole foods, you can support a healthier brain and a happier mood.

We know that healthy eating is good for our bodies, but it’s also good for our brains. Certain foods affect the production of neurotransmitters that play an important role in regulating our moods.

Things to avoid for a better mood:
Too much sugar: It causes energy crashes and mood swings.
Processed foods: They can lead to inflammation and affect mood.
Artificial sweeteners: They may disrupt mood-regulating chemicals.
Skipping meals: It can cause low blood sugar and irritability.
