3. Mussels
While you can’t exactly pop a few mussels in your pocket for the commute in to work, they are an effective part of a mood-regulating diet. They’re also a great part of a regularly healthy diet; mussels are protein rich and aren’t as fatty or calorie heavy as other seafood options. What earned them a spot on this list is the high concentrations of vitamin B12 that can be found in mussels.
B12 is a nutrient that we could all do with a little more of. It helps protect the individual cells in your brain making them more resistant to degradation related to age. Additionally, mussels contain thyroid regulating nutrients such as iodine, zinc, and selenium. Your thyroid regulates your mood, and a healthy thyroid will keep your mood balanced.
