There are many foods that can help improve your mood.

We are talking about food that promotes the production of the happiness hormone.

In addition, to improve your mood, you should eat nuts, fish, eggs and beans.

So, what kind of food can make a person sad?

Confectionery

If a person ate a few sweets or limited himself to just one cake, then nothing terrible will happen.

Rather, the opposite: the mood will improve, a feeling of satiety will appear, the person will become more energetic.

But excessive consumption of confectionery products provokes a negative effect: a sharp increase in blood sugar levels.

Yes, at first a person will be in an elevated mood. But soon the sugar level will drop, and with it the mood.

Chips

This snack may contain ingredients that block endorphins.

Therefore, you definitely shouldn’t eat all the chips from a huge bag at once.

Mayonnaise

This popular sauce may also be a source of compounds that have an indirect negative effect on a person's mood.

Ketchup

A similar effect occurs with excessive consumption of red sauce.

Margarine

The product contains omega-6 acids, high levels of which can worsen a person’s well-being and mood.

Previously, we listed vegetables and fruits that are healthier to eat with the peel.
