Are you feeling stressed out or lacking energy? Turns out can eat your way to happiness

Food To Boost Your Mood

GET THE SLEEP YOU NEED

Not getting your essential shut-eye? Serve up some salmon. Like tuna, salmon is packed with vitamin B6, which is needed to make the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin. Sweet dreams. ALSO TRY: Kale, bananas, whole grains, peanuts, soya beans.

ALLEVIATE ANXIETY

If you feel anxious about a big presentation at work or a family occasion, tuck into an orange first thing. The high levels of vitamin C will lower blood pressure, as well as suppress the presence of stress hormone cortisol in your system. ALSO TRY: Asparagus, milk, turkey.
