1. Saury: Contains Omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy polyunsaturated fatty acid that can help stabilize mood. Omega-3 fatty acids help produce brain neurotransmitters such as serotonin, thus helping to balance mood.

2. Bananas: Bananas contain a substance called alkaloids, which can boost people's spirits and increase confidence. Bananas are also a source of tryptophan and vitamin B6, which help the brain produce serotonin.

3. Spinach: Researchers have found that a lack of folic acid can lead to a decrease in serotonin in the brain, leading to depression. Spinach is rich in folic acid, which can help produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.

4. Pumpkin: Contains trace elements selenium, vitamin B6 and iron, which help stabilize the nervous system and maintain a good mood.

5. Soy milk: It is rich in lecithin, which is an important component of brain cell membranes. Lecithin forms "acetylcholine", a neurotransmitter that helps us think clearly and with energy. In addition, soy milk is rich in tryptophan, vitamin B6, and niacin, and is an excellent ingredient for synthesizing the happy hormone "serotonin".
