It’s not always easy to stay in a good mood. As the memories of the holidays begin to fade away, care must be taken not to get down on yourself. It also involves food. Here are 5 foods that are good for your morale.
Fatty fish
Oily fish such as salmon are rich in omega 3. They have a very high content, more than 4000 mg per 100 gr portion. The darker the flesh, the more fish contains. For nutritionists, it should be eaten at least twice a week. Omega 3s are essential fatty acids for mental health.
Watercress
Often cooked as a soup with a little crème fraîche, watercress provides an average of 2.5 g of protein per 100 g portion. This is without counting its other benefits which are numerous: potassium, phosphorus, calcium … So many nutrients that are essential to stay in a good mood.
Dark chocolate
Chocolate is a bit of a super food. It is excellent for the memory in particular thanks to vitamins of group B, polyphenols. But chocolate also contains tryptophan, an amino acid which is used to produce serotonin also called “the hormone of happiness”. A few squares a day are enough, no need to devour a tablet.
Eggs
Eggs are useful for vitamin D as well as B vitamins (B2, B5, B9 or folate, B12). They participate in maintaining the nervous system in good health and especially in producing red blood cells to avoid being tired. Fried, boiled or omelet, the recipes are legion.
Nuts
Almonds, hazelnuts and all nuts are full of benefits for the body. They are rich in omega-3, magnesium and fiber, which helps stabilize your mood. In addition, nuts contain selenium, a powerful anti-oxidant that helps fight depression and anxiety.
