Mood FOODS

Your guide to a happy gut!

-

Around 90% of your happiness hormones are found in your gut. Serotonin plays a big role in your moods, memories and sleep patterns. The gut is known as the second brain and if we feed it with processed food, it can leave you feeling more fatigued and depressed.

When you are tired or stressed, reaching for highly processed foods won’t serve your body or brain well. Growing research indicates that making changes to what you eat can have a major impact on your mood and improve symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Try some of these mood-boosting foods to feel good and function well.
