Nervous? Sluggish? Tempered? Relief may be as close as your local supermarket. So what foods will put you in a good mood? Take a look...

STOP FEELING SLUGGISH
Tired and lethargic all the time? Find it hard to get going in the morning? You
may want to whip up some scrambled eggs or an omelette. That's because
eggs are a great source of zinc, a substance that makes you feel more
awake, energized and engaged by helping to regulate blood sugar.


NIX NERVOUSNESS
Stressed? Nervous? Anxious? Soothe your nerves with some skim milk or a
handful of almonds. Both foods are rich in calcium, and calcium is great for
reducing anxiety and making you feel calm and relaxed.


SNACK HAPPY
Salmon and strawberries may be nature's equivalent of Prozac and Zoloft.
That's because folate-rich foods cause a boost in serotonin levels in the
brain, much like antidepressants do. So the next time you're feeling
depressed, grill some salmon, or treat yourself to a bowl of strawberries.


TAME YOUR TEMPER
Feeling angry? Reach for a grapefruit, some grapes, an apple or some
carrots! All four of these great-tasting foods are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber
that lowers blood cholesterol. Another plus? When you're angry, your body
kicks into fight-or-flight mode, causing your heart rate, adrenaline levels and
blood pressure to increase. But pectin reverses these effects and helps your
system return to normal.
