Foods that boost your mood

"You are what you eat" is a saying that we commonly read. In fact, our eating habits can either make us healthy and strong or just the opposite. If we choose the right food, the benefits of the nutrients packed within these foods is enormous.

I came across an article written on Dr Oz website that I found interesting. 3 foods were listed as mood boosters especially for those following a diet. These are:

• Kefir:  It's a probiotic fermented milk different from the regular milk we know. It's recommended for decreasing anxiety because it helps in raising brain levels of the serotonin, a "happy feeling" neurotransmitter.  
• Asparagus: This vegetable is very high in folic acid which can help in reducing mood swings.
• Oranges: The high amount of vitamin C in this fruit can reduce stress hormones as well as blood pressure. Therefore, having an orange as a snack can be helpful in decreasing stress.

Bonne Appetit :)
