10. Salmon
According to other studies, eating fish reduces your levels of depression. Going for salmon in particular helps with this because salmon is rich in tyrosine which is an amino acid that greatly affects the production of serotonin in your brain. There are quite a number of ways to make a tasty salmon dinner for example, cook salmon on your grill or bake it with some garlic.
11. Lean beef
If you’re looking to eat a mood-boosting kind of daytime meal, lean beef, specifically grass-fed is a good way to go. Cooking some lean beef with your supper will not only give you iron, zinc and calcium but will also give you all the nutrients that are known to decrease the symptoms of depression. The iron found in lean beef also increases your energy levels. Pairing lean beef with your vegetables or choosing to grill it instead on hot summer days will therefore boost both your mood and energy.
