Mood food refers to foods that are believed to improve overall brain health and certain types of mood disorders. While the relationship between food and mood is still inconclusive, research has shown that certain healthy foods may boost your mood. Some examples of mood food include fatty fish, dark chocolate, fermented foods, bananas, oats, berries, nuts, and seeds.
Additionally, Mood Food™ is a supplement that combines key B vitamins, including 5-MTHF as Quatrefolic® and Albion® di-magnesium malate, to support nervous system health and a healthy mood. Mood Food is also the name of a fast casual eatery that offers healthy, nutritious, and mood-focused salads, bowls, sandwiches, and grass-fed burgers
There are several nutrients besides B vitamins that can affect mood. Researchers have studied the association between foods and the brain and identified 10 nutrients that can combat depression and boost mood, including calcium, chromium, folate, iron, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and zinc. Omega-3 fatty acids found in cold-water fish and certain vegetable oils, and available as a supplement, are sometimes used to help depression and other psychological problems. Magnesium, iron, and zinc are also nutrients that play a role in maintaining mental health.
