Reading
Part 1
Foods contain chemicals that can affect the brain, influencing how individuals feel and think, and sometimes how they act. A person might feel very different after binging on fast food, compared it to how he or she feels after eating a salad. Mood foods are foods that people eat that have an affect on how we feel every day. The way that the person feels can be a simple as one nutrient in the diet determining his high or low feeling for the next few hours. People who eat regularly and do not skip meals also experience a boost in mood.


Fish have high levels of serotonin and can boost a person's boost.

Part 2
One of the major factors in mood foods is the brain chemical serotonin. High levels of serotonin keep a person calm and relaxed, with a high level of concentration. Serotonin is also responsible for sleep, mood, and appetite levels. If levels of serotonin decrease, then the body may start to crave carbohydrates.
Chicken and turkey meat have high levels of serotonin in them.

Part 3
Although it has sometimes been given a bad reputation, fat is important in the good mood foods category. Too little fat in the diet will leave a person feeling unhappy because foods with high fat content release endorphins and make the person feel happy. People should stick to healthy fats, such as the monounsaturated fats that are found in some nut, olive, and fish oils. The omega-3 fatty acid found in some seafood is a great eliminator of depression and will keep the brain healthy.
Asparagus is high in folic acid, which can help with a bad mood.

Part 4
Good foods to improve the mood also include those high in protein. Protein contains an amino acid called tyrosine, which increases levels of norepinephrine and dopamine, the chemicals responsible for excitement and alertness.
Foods high in essential vitamins and minerals are excellent good mood foods. A lack of folic acid in the diet has been found to be a factor in depression. Similarly, a lack of selenium will cause unhappy and anxious feelings. Green leafy vegetables, turkey, and asparagus are all high in folic acid. Whole grains, eggs and tuna fish are good sources of selenium.
Bananas are a mood boosting food.

Part 5
Unfortunately, many bad mood foods also taste great. Foods that are high in sugar can negatively affect mood, although they will give an initial instant lift. Around an hour later, a drop in mood and energy will follow. A sugar rush can lead to mood swings, including anxiety and  irritation.
Foods such as avocados can boost one's mood.
