There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can improve your mood. When you feel a little down and are in need of an emotional boost, test out some of these.

Some grains are actually wonderful for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. These grains fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods too. Feeling famished can really make you feel awful!
