8. Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt has seen a recent resurgence and that emerging trend comes with a good reason. Yogurt is a cocktail of goodness; protein, calcium, and digestion aiding probiotics to name a few. If you’re not getting enough calcium in your diet, you can experience negative mood side effects like anxiety, depression, and irritability.
While there are many calcium-rich dairy options on store shelves, Greek yogurt is a good choice because in addition to the other benefits that yogurt provide, it is higher in protein then standard yogurt options. Pay attention, however, to hidden calories, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup in fruit-heavy Greek yogurt options. There are healthy choices that boost calcium without packing on the pounds.
