Important mood nutrients.
Many of these nutrients act as raw materials for your brain’s chemistry:
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is actually a hormone that plays a part in regulating serotonin.
Sources: sunlight exposure, fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), mushrooms
Protein
Protein provides amino acids like tyrosine (for dopamine) and tryptophan (for serotonin).
Sources: Meats, eggs, dairy, legumes, nuts
Magnesium
Magnesium is a cofactor in the production of brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA.
Sources: leafy greens, nuts, seeds, whole grains
B Vitamins
B vitamins are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and help your brain turn nutrients into usable energy.
Sources: animal proteins, leafy greens, whole grains, legumes
Omega-3s
Omega-3 fatty acids are key for brain cell structure and help reduce neuroinflammation—both of which impact mood.
Sources: fatty fish (salmon, sardines), flaxseeds, walnuts.
