We all know that food is a fantastic boost for mental heath.
Here are FIVE foods that can improve your mental health.
SPINACH to improve your mood:
Dark green vegetables such as spinach are known to have a high folate content, which is a substance that has a dominant role in the production of happy chemical serotonin.
(Go for fresh spinach over a favoured tinned variety as the nutritional value of the vegetable drops when processed and canned)
TUNA for a memory boost:
Poor memory can be improved by increasing your intake of Omega 3 fatty acids. A lot of this is found in a variety of foods including nuts and seeds, however you can get a major boost and tiny cost by tucking into a helping of tuna.
PEANUT BUTTER to fend of Alzheimer’s:
You can decrease your chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease by as much as 44% if you put away 22mg of the gloopy brown spread.
CASSIS TEA to fight Parkinson’s:
You can help avoid Parkinson’s disease by switching from the stable black tea and moving over to a fruitier option.
CANOLA OIL to fight depression:
A number of studies have found that people who suffer from depression record depleted levels of vitamin E. Canola oil, an alternative to vegetable or corn oil, is rich in the vitamin and can help restore your mood.
