Try These 7 Foods

There are some days that we feel angry, anxious,
or just plain unhappy. Try one of these seven foods
to lift your spirits:

1. Whole Grains. If you’re feeling hungry and angry,
these dense carbs will help increase serotonin, a
mood enhancer. Trybrown rice or beans.

2. Leafy Greens. For those down in the dumps
days, the B vitamin folate can help break down
homocysteine, which may be linked to depression.
Other great sources of folate are beans, citrus fruits
and fortified grain products.

3. Turkey. To help calm your anxiety, try some
tryptophan, which can help the brain produce feel-
good chemicals. You can also try chicken, eggs,
cheese, nuts and seeds.

4. Greek Yogurt. Being irritable is no fun for you or
anyone around you. Healthy snackfoods every 3 or
4 hours will help preventa drop in your blood
sugar. Try some yogurt with berries or almonds
and fruit.

5. Black Tea. Stress less by sipping some hotor cold
black tea—it may decrease cortisol, a stress
hormone. It may also improve your memory and
could help getrid of headaches.

6. Dark Chocolate. For women experiencing PMS
symptoms, the flavonoids in dark chocolate may
help get rid of crankiness. Just one more reason to
treat yourself.

7. Fish. To improve your brain health and help you

improve the communication between your brain’s
cells. Try salmon, trout, sardines, herring or
anchovies.
