Dairy
No matter how you choose to consume it, a cup of Greek yogurt or a glass of milk, dairy should always be welcomed in your diet, especially when you want to uplift your spirits. Due to the fact that dairy contains high amounts of tryptophan, Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, cheese, and butter are able to boost your mood.
The owner of Dig In Eat Up and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition, Libby Mills, MS, RDN, LDN, FAND, says that tryptophan has the ability to transform itself into serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter that offers you a positive state of mind and a sense of well being.
Plus, dairy products do so much more than just uplift your spirits. They strengthen your bones and muscles, keep your gut happy, and maintain your heart healthy.
