Wellness Hero’s Top 5 MOOD Enhancing foods!
Do you like feeling good? Sometimes adding specific nutrients to your body's systems creates reactions that boost emotions and the way a person can feel. If a person eats something heavily processed like fast food, so much unhealthy CHEMICALS start to be absorbed by the body, which in turn effects the mood as well. I recommend eating them raw or combined in something you are already eating to enhance that food choice with a MOOD Booster!
1. Avocado - can elevate your spirit!
(Avocados contain serotonin, a type of feel-good neurotransmitter)
2. Raw Cocoa - High in magnesium and contains significant quantities of the essential amino acid Tryptophan, which is crucial for the production of the neurotransmitter, serotonin.
3. Spinach - Nutrient dense and a powerful health - mood and illness prevention food. Spinach is full of vitamin B9 (folate) which helps the body maintain normal levels of the mood-enhancing neurotransmitter serotonin. Low levels of folate are often associated with depression. RDA is around 400 micrograms. *Some other folate rich foods include asparagus, beans and broccoli.
4. Chia Seeds - A potent vegetarian source of omega 3 and packed with amino acids.
5. Sunflower Seeds - Their richness in vitamin E - Selenium and Magnesium all contribute to improving your mood! (also rich in selenium)
