At times, comfort foods can be utterly nutritious and good for us to consume. Some foods actually do boost your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually great at fighting back depression. Just see to it that you do not toss the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you improve your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel).
