Introduction: Many people like to relieve their low moods by eating. So let's take a look at which foods can make us happier?
1. Whole Wheat Bread
Carbohydrates can help increase serotonin. Dr. Judith Wurtman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says: "Some people regard foods like pasta and pastries as a kind of anti-depressant that they can eat regularly."
2. Low-fat Milk
A study by the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York found that among women with premenstrual syndrome, after taking 1000mg of calcium tablets for 3 months, 34% of them felt less tense, irritable, or anxious. In daily life, the best source of calcium is milk. Fortunately, low-fat or skim milk has the most calcium.

3. Deep-sea Fish
People who live by the sea around the world are generally happier, not only because the sea is refreshing, but also because they fish as a staple food. Studies in Finland, the UK, and the US have all found the same results.
4. Banana
Bananas contain a substance called an alkaloid, which can boost spirits and increase confidence. Moreover, bananas are a super source of tryptophan and vitamin B6, both of which help the brain produce serotonin.
5. Grapefruit
Grapefruit has a strong aroma that can clear a cluttered mind and refresh the senses. The high amount of vitamin C in grapefruit not only helps maintain the concentration of red blood cells and boosts the body's resistance, but it can also help with stress.

6. Cherry
A study by the University of Michigan found that cherries contain a substance called anthocyanin, which can reduce inflammation. Scientists at the university believe that eating 20 cherries is more effective than taking aspirin.
7. Garlic
Although garlic may cause bad breath, it can bring good moods. A German study on the effects of garlic on cholesterol found, from patient questionnaires, that after taking garlic supplements, they felt less tired, anxious, and prone to anger. The researchers never expected garlic to have such a special "side effect".
