5 Everyday Foods that will Boost your Mood

These are 5 delicious and nourishing foods that can help you feel your best including recipes to enjoy them in.

Let’s get back to basics. I like doing this every once in a while especially in the depths of winter and reminding you of feel-good-foods that support your brain and overall well-being.

Why? Food has such a powerful and direct impact on our mood.

Do you feel tired, sluggish, irritated?
Do you feel energized, happy, ready for the day?

In my latest video, I break down 5 foods that can help you feel your best! And of course, it’s not limited to this list. There are many nourishing foods that support your brain health. After this video, I have outlined yummy recipes for each feel good food.

  3. Hi Joy – I love the little pot plants you have in your kitchen – are they real ones? If so what kind?? or herbs etc… thanks! 🙂

    Those are the only plants in my home and office that are not real! They wouldn’t survive there because they are not close enough to any natural sunlight. But thanks, they are so cute! I got them from Homesense.

    I remember spending so much money buying drugs from hospitals hoping that i will be cured from HERPES INFECTION, but all to no avail. I contacted so many  doctors and they prescribed medicine for me which they indeed tried their best but was unable to provide for me a possible cure, luckily i got to know about a doctor who cured herpes with herbal medicine and i give it try and today am happy that i made that decision and its has now downed on me now that herbal medicine is the only solution to herpes and any other STDs/STIs and other health threatening related diseases/infections you can get your cure today from Dr Akhere Herbal Home call/whatsapp 2347085994115 or visit his website to know more about his products and get your cure (http://drakhereherbalhome.wixsite.com/website) online. just as i did .good luck to you all.

  6. What do you think about eggs? Medical medical says not to eat them. Are they bad for you?

  7. I love homemade dehydrated kale chips along with tea, so nice for a treat. Also raw califlower bite size with drizzled olive oil, salt and nutritional yeast as a side dish.🤍

    No they are not bad for you. Eggs are a wonderful and low-cost source of protein packed with iron, B12, lecithin, healthy fats and so much more.
