Would you like to know more about superfoods to boost your mood?

Last episode we talked about how our gut bacteria can affect our mood, including anxiety, depression and how we react to stress. So I thought it would be a good idea to carry over that theme into today’s episode and build upon the specific foods that can help calm anxiety and boost mood.

We’re going to go even one step further than we have in previous episodes and discuss superfoods.

What are superfoods and which ones have mood-boosting properties?

Key Points Re: Superfoods

Super foods are calorie sparse and nutrient dense, meaning they pack a lot of punch for their weight as far as goodness goes. They are superior sources of antioxidants and essential nutrients, which are nutrients that are important to our health, yet the human body cannot make on its own.

The Top 10 List of Superfoods that Boost Your Mood

* Almonds and walnuts

* Asparagus

* Blueberries and acai berries

* Kefir

* Peaches and oranges

* Salmon and mackerel

* Seaweed

* Spinach

* Sunflower seeds

* Turkey

I recommend incorporating at least one serving of one of these foods into your diet on a daily basis. Is there a food on that list that you haven’t tried before? Perhaps start with that one… a new adventure to boot!

Have fun experimenting with new food combinations and recipes.
