Good Food to Boost Your Mood

For a mood pick-me-up, ditch the doughnuts. The British Dietetic Association says lack of important vitamins may be the cause of your blue feelings. Eating more of foods rich in vitamin B, folic acid and iron is a healthy way to improve your mood. If you want a feel-good snack, up your vitamin B intake by eating marmite on wholegrain toast or a handful of dried fruit. Grab an orange, which is rich in folic acid, or choose a breakfast cereal fortified with iron. The association also points to studies that suggest a low intake of selenium may affect your mood. A handful of brazil nuts, one boiled egg or grilled fish are all excellent sources.
