When you're feeling low, it's tempting to grab a pack of cookies for a quick fix. While they might offer a moment of comfort, they won’t do much for your long-term mental well-being. Instead, try reaching for nutrient-rich foods like bananas, dark chocolate, and salmon. These mood-boosting options are packed with ingredients that can support brain health and improve emotional well-being. From balancing blood sugar to increasing serotonin levels, what you eat can have a surprising impact on how you feel. Choose these nourishing foods to naturally lift your spirits.
