The superfood guaranteed to boost your mood

Stress is commonly one of the most common issues that working men and women all over the world are faced with on a daily basis. And while there are countless methods hailed to relieve tension, one of the easiest ways to do so has just been discovered…

Researchers have found that adding walnuts into a daily diet for 8 weeks can work to significantly improve the mood of healthy, non-depressed males. The nutrient dense snack was found to significantly help young men to have the capability to tackle the daily stresses and strains that so many come up against. Why? The nutrients present in walnuts – such as alpha-Linolenic acid, vitamin E, folate, polyphenols or melatonin – are said to be naturally mood-enhancing.

“In the past, studies on walnuts have shown beneficial effects on many health outcomes like heart disease, diabetes and obesity,” said researcher Peter Pribis, Professor at University of New Mexico in the US. “Our study was different because we focused on cognition, and in this controlled randomised trial (CRT) we measured mood outcomes in males and females,” Pribis added.
