But, did you know that what you eat can affect how you feel?

Some foods to improve your mood should include protein, fiber and vitamins and minerals.

It’s important to keep in mind that eating these foods are not a cure-all for mood disorders, but they can help alleviate symptoms associated with elevated inflammation and depression.
