\nTry it if: you’re looking to calm down. Made by fermenting more traditional milk with kefir grains, this drink is high in the amino acid tryptophan, which produces a relaxing effect on the nervous system. As a bonus, the drink also contains a healthy amount of B vitamins.<\/p>\n
\nTry it if: you’re feeling low. This vegetable is loaded with folic acid, which is good news for your mood, as low levels of the vitamin have been tied to depression. In fact, one 5.3-ounce serving contains 60 percent of your recommended daily folic acid allowance. Plus, asparagus is low in calories and contains no fat or cholesterol, so it won’t ruin your diet.<\/p>\n
\nTry it if: you’re stressed out. Why? Vitamin C. This powerhouse nutrient can help support your immune system, skin, and more, but its stress-fighting powers come from its effect on your blood pressure. Studies have shown that consuming 500 milligrams of vitamin C daily can dramatically lower cardiovascular and stroke risk. One orange contains about 80 milligrams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
