Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood.

It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you fight your depression.

These foods can help you feel full for longer as well, which is a mood improver. It’s not hard to feel low when you feel famished!
