5 surprising foods that can affect your mood

Crisps can make you feel depressed

Deep down you know snacking on crisps is bad for your body, and now scientists have proven that itâ€™s also bad for your mood. According to research from Spain presented in the journal PLoS One, foods like crisps that are loaded with trans fat and saturated fat can lead to a startling 48 per cent increase in the risk of suffering from depression. The study found that even if only 0.6 per cent of your diet is made up of trans fat, you still risk feeling depressed. This is due to the inflammatory effects of trans fats and saturated fats, which can interrupt the neurotransmitters in the brain that produce serotonin.

Avocados can make you feel alert

If you need a quick boost to feel awake and alert then forget the â€˜up and downâ€™ effects of caffeine and turn to avocados instead. Avocados are naturally high in the amino acid tyrosine, which your brain needs to produce the alertness-boosting neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine. The journal Brain Research Bulletin published the research to back this up. The study found that tyrosine can improve both concentration and alertness even in extremely stressful situations; in this case, an army training course. Researchers at the Pesacola Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory also discovered that tyrosine can help improve the cognitive performance of people who have been deprived of sleep, so itâ€™s a great option if youâ€™ve missed out on some shuteye.

Chocolate can make you feel happy

That warm chocolately hug you feel inside every time you give in to the sweet stuff isnâ€™t just your imagination. A study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology found that participants who consumed a chocolate infused drink every day felt happier and calmer than a control group who didnâ€™t have the drink. The reason chocolate makes you feel so happy is it increases the production of serotonin in your brain, which is a hormone commonly found in antidepressants. If you want this mood boost without feeling guilty, opt for healthier natural dark chocolate without added sugar or milk.

Brown rice can make you feel calm

Brown rice is the perfect food for people who regularly suffer from mood swings, and thatâ€™s because itâ€™s high in soluble fibre. Fibre slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which serves to stabilise your mood and decrease mood swings. Mood swings commonly occur during high-stress periods of your life, and can severely impact on both your career and personal life. If youâ€™re not a fan of brown rice there are plenty of other foods whose high fibre content means theyâ€™re great for calming your mood, such as oats and Brussels sprouts.

Sugar can make you feel angry

Just as fibre can calm you by stabilising your blood sugar, consuming too much sugar can cause fluctuations in your blood sugar and have the opposite effect. Although you might crave sugar and experience an initial mood boost when you first have it, over time it will lead to mood swings and make you feel angry. Researchers at Princeton University found that these mood swings are amplified by the fact that sugar can be as addictive as some drugs. They found that the body can become dependent on sugar if enough is consumed, which leads to mood altering cravings. And when you finally give in and have a sugary snack? The whole cycle starts over again, and your mood swings worsen.
