Foods That Boost Your Mood

Did you know there are nutrients found in everyday foods that can improve your mood, naturally decrease stress, and sharpen your mind? Do you need an extra dose?

I live in the hustle and bustle of New York City where everything seems faster, bigger, and more demanding. I am already a pretty type A amped up person, but living in NYC makes me feel amped up x100! Sometimes I just need to chill lol…and I like to do that through my diet :)

As I mentioned here, certain lifestyle factors may negatively impact your overall health and weight. Instead of falling into some pretty unnatural coping techniques for stress, here are some foods that naturally help to boost your mood and reduce stress.

1) Salmon

2) Dark Chocolate

3) Cinnamon

4) Ginger

5) Kefir

6) Cashews

7) Kale

8) Beans and Legumes
