Most of us believe that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we should keep away from them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be really healthy and good for you. There are a number of foods that basically can improve your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for improving your mood.

Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that directs your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more of it you have, the better you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein food source.

  6. Using a basting brush, brush melted butter onto the phyllo sheets you placed in the baking dish
  7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 three more times
