Mood-boosting foods for depression

If you are suffering from depression then did you know that changing your diet can help? Here are some foods for depression that will help you to feel better.

Foods for depression

The foods below have mood-boosting benefits, but they cannot replace medical help. If you need additional help then please reach out to your GP.

foods for depression – Poultry

The reason why poultry is one of the good foods for depression is that the lean protein in poultry like chicken and turkey helps to stabalise blood sugar levels, which also helps with keeping your mood well balanced throughout the day.

As well as that, they also provide high amounts of tryptophan, which creates serotonin to assist us in maintaining healthy sleep and a balanced mood.

Overall, poultry is a good choice when it comes to finding a food to help fight depression.

Nuts

Nuts are another great source of protein that help to keep your blood sugars at a healthy balance.

Some nuts including cashews, brazil nuts, hazelnuts and walnuts also support overall brain health and have one of the highest plant-sources of Omega-3.

A great choice all around, but be careful of their calorie content if you are watching your weight.

Foods for depression – Beans

Beans are a great source of protein and fibre, both of which help to maintain stable and consistent blood suger levels. In addition to helping minimise the blood sugar spikes and dips that can effect our mood, beans are also great sources of folate, which helps the body to detox cells and create new ones.

Vegetables

We all know that eating vegetables is important for our overall health, and should aim for 5 portions a day, but did you know that vegetables are also a great food to fight depression?

Darkers, leafy green vegetables are a great choice when looking for foods to improve and stabilise your mood.

In particular, dose up on:

  • Brussel sprouts
  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Watercress

Seeds

Flaxseed and chia seeds are great sources of Omega-3 fats, Just one tablespoon of chia seeds provides approximately 61 per cent of your daily recommended amount of Omega-3 and one tablespoon of flaxseed provides roughly 39 per cent of the daily recommendation.

Fish

Salmon, mackerel, trout, sardines and tuna are great choices to help fight depression. They are rich sources of Omega-3 fats, which lead to an increased serotonin production and improvement of your mood.

What would you do with £5 to double it?⁠

I would probably visit a charity shop and look for some bargains, then stick them on eBay for a 1 day auction.⁠

Who is getting their side hustle on this weekend? Who is getting their side hustle on this weekend? If you are struggling for ideas to get started then here are 5 ways to make some money this weekend.⁠
⁠
1 - declutter and sell. Get your unwanted items listed on Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Vinted, Depop - wherever!⁠
⁠
2 - sign up to market research. I love Research Opinions, People For Research and Respondent.⁠
⁠
3 - take some time to learn matched betting. It should take you about an hour to watch the training videos and decide if it is for you.⁠
⁠
4 - enter my free daily draw for your chance to win £10 per day. Link in bio!⁠
⁠
5 - get free money. These free money offers are usually from new apps trying to entice you to join. You'll also find a link in my bio for these.⁠

Okay what IS the deal with the free share from Fre Okay what IS the deal with the free share from FreeTrade?⁠
⁠
If you use someone's referral link, verify your account and deposit £1 you will then get a free share awarded at random worth anything from £3 - £200.⁠
⁠
The shares are usually given out on Wednesday afternoons/early evenings and are awarded at random.⁠
⁠
Once you have your free share you can decide what to do with it. You might want to just let it sit there to earn dividends and see if it grows, or you can sell it to use it to buy other shares OR withdraw your money.⁠
⁠
It is a great offer because you don't even need to spend your initial £1, just deposit it.⁠
⁠
I'm sharing lots of free money offers like this - the link is in my bio!⁠
