Eat a healthy snack

Scientists have confirmed that what and when you eat can affect how you feel and your moods. If youre feeling sad, try eating a lowfat, lowprotein, but highcarbohydrate snack, such as a toasted English muffin with jam. When highcarbohydrate foods arent overtaken by the presence of protein or fat, they allow for a release of the amino acid tryptophan into your brain. Tryptophan then turns into serotonin, a neurotransmitter than improves your mood, and all within 30 minutes.
