feeling blue? mung beans,lobster,turkey,asparagus,sunflower seeds,cottage cheese,pineapple,tofu,spinach and bananas could lift your spirits. A diet high in tryptophan--an amino acid converted by the body into the feel-good chemical serotonin--can improve mood and wellbeing,pediatrician and natural health expert Caroline Longmore said.The body cannot produce tryptophan so unless we get ehough through our diets,we may suffer a deficiency,leading to low serotonin levels which are associated with mood disorders,anxiety,cravings and irritable bowel syndrome. Following a diet which contains foods rich in naturally occurring serotonin will improve your mood.

this is a very good tip for us who have those not so happy days especially after just studying so much or doing a lot of work. the foods you've mentioned takes away the exhaustion thus, waking up our sleeping emotion. one thing, to add. proper sleep with these foods can make us happier and more energized.
