Fermented foods
While fermented foods such as kimchi and sauerkraut are not exactly the most popular side dishes in our country, they should be. They deserve a place on our list of mood-boosting foods, too. Many studies suggest that the live bacteria found in fermented foods, what we know as probiotics, could alleviate depression and anxiety.
On top of that, probiotics found in fermented foods can also improve gut health; and since the gut has a strong connection with the brain, as long as you keep your gut happy, your brain will most likely follow its lead.
