Topic: In a Bad Mood? Try These 7 Foods

[smiLe~aLways]

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Fish. To improve your brain health and help you think more clearly, the omega 3s in fish can improve the communication between your brain’s cells. Try salmon, trout, sardines, herring or anchovies.

Fish lang at greenies ang affordable. 
The more I hate them, the more benefits that attracts me.

Natawa ako dun sa andoks ah, mga anim hahahahahaha

Alam ko pwede rin ang saging, nakakapagpataas din yata yun ng serotonin eh.

I love bananas, but its mostly myth in how they affect serotonin in your brain much like the tryptophan in turkey.

Containing serotonin and tryptophan is one thing, another is having your brain absorb them.

Ok yung chocolates and omega 3 as nakaka trigger sila ng secretion ng mga nabanggit. Try moving away from caffeine and energy drinks as well especially if you are stressed.
