Citrus fruits
Other instant mood boosters that you probably have on your countertop are citrus fruits. According to Mills, fruits, and veggies high in vitamin C are able to decrease stress and anxiety. Therefore, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, mandarins, bell peppers, tomatoes, and strawberries should be consumed more often.
No matter what vitamin C source you prefer, try to reach your daily intake for vitamin C (75 mg for women and approximately 90 mg for men). Ahh, and it’s best to eat your vitamin C sources raw as boiling or sautéeing can decrease vitamin C content.
Keep it fresh to enjoy the biggest vitamin C punch.
