Foods That Will Make You Happy

Eat more vegetables and fruits – They will make you happy!

Believe it or not, eating vegetables and fruits will make you happy. They’re full of good vitamins that play a key role in your emotional health and overall well-being. Compare that to eating a burger – sure, a Big Mac will suffice, but a banana is much better in the long run. Nutritionally, bananas contain vitamin B6 which aids in regulating serotonin, also known as the “feel good hormone.”

Studies suggest that people with depression tend to reach for junk food, like potato chips, paired with cokes, and sugary cereals. Sugar is an addictive substance that stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain, but only for a short time. Eating a cup of blueberries, which is full of vitamins and antioxidants, will sustain your body with energy throughout the day.

At the end of the day, staying healthy is a matter of eating delicious fruits and vegetables, getting in your exercise, and doing what is good your body, mind, and soul.
