18. Broccoli
Meat will often be recommended if you’re looking for food rich in iron. However, if you prefer a lighter option then broccoli is a great idea. It has plenty of iron and chromium which is a key player in serotonin and production of melatonin. These two are chemicals that significantly boost your mood. Broccoli therefore keeps you in a good mood while boosting your mental health. It’s delicious when steamed and when mixed with other different vegetables in stir fries. It can also be cooked with both pesto sauce and pasta.
