Good Mood Foods

Mood is considered as an emotional state and may be defined as one’s mental status of thinking and behaviour in a healthy, normal individual. Good mood is usually considered a state without an identified cause; people cannot pinpoint exactly why they are in a good mood. Apart from several extraneous factors, foods that we relish and consume have a great impact on it. It is often said that human endeavour is first to fulfil his culinary desires and rest all comes only after that. This probably has led to discovery of hundreds of varieties of foods that we consume today. It is common experience that foods that we like enhance our ‘mood’ and those that we detest spoil the ‘mood’. This actually is the result of nerve reactions elicited by the food compounds and release of chemicals that stimulate the nerve reactions.
