Food is like medicine—it’s necessary to maintain your physical body, your brain and your mood. Eating naturally good foods can work wonders for your energy levels, keeping you satisfied and satiated. Here are four superfoods to eat to boost your mood.
Red Bell Pepper
We bet you didn’t know that red bell peppers actually have more Vitamin C than an orange. They are the most nutritious of all bell peppers, they are low calorie and contain other vitamins and minerals to improve your mood.
Nut Butter
It doesn’t matter if you prefer cashew butter over peanut butter—all nut butters are energy-boosting and filled with protein and healthy fats. Adding nut butter to a smoothie, a piece of toast or just eating it straight from the jar can fill you up and stop you from indulging in less nutritious foods.
Salmon
Salmon is a well-known brain food. It has high numbers of omega-3 fatty acids and helps to maintain the central nervous system. It is also a great source of protein and may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Figs
Figs are a superfood that can actually help to aid your sleep and help your mood. They are filled with potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron which help with blood flow and muscle relaxation to help you fall asleep.
