Mood Booster: Fatty Fish
Mood Booster: Fatty Fish There are countless health benefits that come from eating a diet rich in healthy fats, such as the kind found in your favorite seafood sources. "Specifically, tuna, salmon, mackerel and other fatty fish provide omega-3 fats, an essential fatty acid," explains Amidor. "Omega-3 helps regular brain chemicals, including dopamine, which the brain releases in response to positive, happy experiences and serotonin." Another reason to add omega-3s to your diet is that they reduce inflammation, which leads to an imbalance of flora in the intestines. "Symptoms, although not always apparent, can include bloating, diarrhea or painful digestion — the culmination of which is a real recipe for a bad mood," says Kimszal.
