FOODS TO BOOST YOUR MOOD

case of the blues? feeling stressed or anxious lately?
did ya know that there are yummy + healthy foods that can help with that? yup, it's true. 

​studies have shown that certain types of foods can have a positive effect on our mood + emotional behavior. by nourishing our bodies with these, we are feeding our brain the right combination of nutrients, which help boost serotonin (a super important chemical + neurotransmitter in our bodies. it helps regulate our mood + social behavior, appetite + digestion, sleep, memory, + MORE.)

my favorites:

• dark chocolate (75% or darker) 
• whole grains
• fruits
• veggies
• cashews, almonds & walnuts
• black or green tea
• salmon
• avocado
• grass-fed beef & lamb
• eggs
• coconut
• fermented foods (kombucha & yogurt)
• beans & peas 
• spinach
• greek yogurt
• honey
• cherry tomatoes 
• coffee ( all. the. yassss.)
• hot cocoa (again. all the yasssss.)

others:

• ​kale
• chard
• sesame
• oysters 
• white fish 
• blue potatoes

I love learning how food can TRULY impact ALL aspects of our bodies, both mentally and physically.
