Stay healthy and happy, California! According to Health.com, the foods in this diet can elevate your mood and can contribute to happiness all day long.
- Milk. Rich in Vitamin D, this can cause a surge in serotonin, the "happy hormone."
- Navy beans. The magnesium in navy beans can combat the emotional effects of PMS.
- Garbanzo beans. It’s the tryptophan in these tasty little beauties that is thought to brighten your emotional state.
- Walnuts. The omega 3S in walnuts can lift your mood!
- Salmon. Vitamin B6 lifts your serotonin, and has omega 3S in it–the same thing in walnuts that makes them good for your spirits.
- Saffron. This spice found commonly in Spanish dishes is thought to help alleviate depression.
- Shrimp. Like salmon, shrimp is known to supply B6, a serotonin-elevating agent.
A healthy diet can do more than lift your mood–it can give you the energy you need to lead to a happier, fuller life. It can also lead to lower medical bills and fewer health insurance co-pays.
