Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually terrific at beating back depression. You must make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk.

This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try eating an egg and cheer up!
Put together several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for raising your mood.

Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a fantastic source of protein.

These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you fight your depression.
Some grains are actually excellent for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really excellent for helping raise your happiness levels. They can help you feel full for longer as well, helping you feel better. Feeling hungry can be awful! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest.
