Nine products that improve mood and well-being.

Ukrainians have been under stress for over a year. But regardless of the circumstances, each of us must take care of our health and well-being.

Nutritionist Svitlana Fus shared on Instagram about the products that affect mood:

"Some types of meat (chicken, beef, pork) contain the amino acid tyrosine. It improves mood, well-being, concentration, and memory. In addition, meat is a source of vitamin B12, which helps to cope with insomnia and depression."

"Fatty fish (tuna, trout, herring, sardines, mackerel, salmon, cod, sockeye) is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are needed to support the active functioning of the brain."

"Bananas are beneficial for people with chronic fatigue."

"Regularly adding hot pepper to dishes helps to feel calmer. Capsaicin, present in pepper, stimulates nerve endings in the mouth and promotes the release of endorphins."

"Nuts, like fatty fish, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which ensure proper brain function."

"Cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made, contain the substance phenylethylamine, which stimulates the release of endorphins."

"Oatmeal and buckwheat contain tryptophan, which promotes the formation of serotonin - the happiness hormone."

"Eggs contain important fatty acids and vitamins (A, E, D) that can improve mood."

"All types of cheese contain anti-stress amino acids tyramine, trictamine, and phenylethylamine, which can lift the mood."
