Mood Booster: Lean Meats
Mood Booster: Lean Meats Lean sources of protein, such as beef, pork, lamb and turkey, are a top source of the amino acid tryptophan, which helps produce serotonin to help boost your mood, says Toby Amidor, MS, RD and best-selling cookbook author of The Easy 5-Ingredient Healthy Cookbook. "Taking these foods out of your diet can minimize serotonin production, which is linked to depression," she adds. Additionally, protein helps keep you feeling satisfied and full for longer periods of time so you'll feel way less "hangry."
