HAPPY MEALS

SALMON

A fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids – docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) – thought to have a beneficial impact on some mood disorders. Consume at least one portion (140g when cooked) of oily fish a week.

BROWN RICE

Packed with fibre, minerals and vitamins, such as iron and B vitamins – nutrients that are important in elevating mood. Because brown rice digests slowly, it delivers a slow and steady glucose supply to your brain and body.

APPLES

An apple a day and all that. A study published in the British Journal Of Health Psychology in 2013 showed that regularly eating whole fruit, such as apples, in addition to vegetables each day can make young adults feel calmer, happier and more energetic.
