As with most high-protein foods, eggs and poultry stimulate the release of norepinephrine and dopamine, which are the ‘feel-good’ chemicals that can boost your mood and energy.

In fact, eggs aren’t only a great source of protein, they also provide phosphorous, selenium, zinc, iron, calcium, and vitamins A, D, E, and K (all in one little package), making them one of the most nutritionally-dense foods you can eat.

Nutrient-rich foods are good for battling stress. You should probably consider including eggs as a part of your anxiety-reducing breakfast.

Bananas offer amazing mood-lifting power, with their rich combination of vitamins A, B6, and C, healthy carbohydrates, protein, iron, phosphorous, potassium, tryptophan, and fiber.

When you eat a banana, you get a rapid boost thanks to its fructose content as well as prolonged energy from its fiber, which helps you prevent blood sugar spike and sudden drops in energy and mood.

Moreover, bananas trigger the release of dopamine and help soothe your nervous system. Best of all, you can get bananas year-round! An ideal mood-boosting snack.

Slow-burning carbs like oats can also be a great and healthy mood-boosting food. Oats contain soluble fiber, which promotes slow sugar absorption into your bloodstream.

Oats were also shown to improve serotonin levels, which is the ‘happy chemical’ that puts a positive spin on your mood, sleep, social behavior, digestion, and brain function.

How much do you need? ½ cup of porridge is an amazing way to start your day. Try adding a spoonful of nuts, honey, or yogurt for extra protein.
