Depression: Food for Happiness

Asparagus


The key to fighting depression is with folic acid. A low level of folate is linked to depression. People usually rely on pills for folate, but did you know that asparagus has high levels of folate and tryptophan?

Tryptophan produces serotonin in the brain that stabilises moods. Therefore asparagus is a great vegetable to improve you mood as it contains both, folate and tryptophan.
