MOOD FOOD

Mangos to make you smile

NutritioNist Amanda Hamilton shows how to manage your mood with food… MANGOS are packed with mood-boosting nutrients. They contain high levels of vitamin C — more than oranges. This powerful antioxidant is not just key for strengthening the immune system. Some studies, such as a 2015 trial by Pakistan Journal of Psychological Sciences on anxiety in college students, have found that vitamin C can help to reduce symptoms of depression. Plus, they contain B vitamins, which support the production of serotonin — the happy hormone. Try adding to smoothies or serve with Greek yoghurt for a delicious breakfast or afternoon snack.
