Fatty Fish
Salmon, mackerel, tuna, anchovies, sardines, and herring are the best fish options you could possibly eat. Apart from keeping cancer at bay, combating acne, boosting heart health, and keeping your bones strong, the omega-3s found in fish can also improve your mood.
Wondering how? Well, when consumed, the omega-3 fatty acids can influence the brain’s neurotransmitters responsible for inducing the feeling of happiness. They also minimize inflammation found at the brain level. Studies support the evidence, too.
A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded that only 1.5 grams of omega-3s taken daily for a couple of weeks could boost your mood significantly. If you don’t like fish, you can still benefit from the omega-3s properties by taking supplements.
