It’s true – when it comes to happiness, you are what you eat! Discover 7 foods to include in your daily diet if you want to keep on the sunny side of life.
In omelettes, quiches or sautéd with parsley, mushrooms bring joy to our dishes! A regular ingredient in rustic cooking, mushrooms contain, amongst others, vitamin B8 (biotin) which supports normal psychological function.
For the record, B8 is also found in egg yolk and brewer’s yeast.
What would you say to swapping your afternoon biscuit for a handful of nuts? These oleaginous fruits contain a good range of B vitamins – primarily B1 (thiamine) and B9 (folic acid), but also B3 (niacin) and B6, all of which support psychological stability (1). … They go a long way towards helping you live life to the full!
You can also stock up on B vitamins by taking a comprehensive supplement (such as Coenzymated B Formula, which contains every B group vitamin in a coenzymated form for optimal absorption).
With its tangy taste and beautiful green (or yellow) color, kiwi brings a little ray of sunshine to our breakfast bowls. Nutritionally, kiwi is notable for its high content of vitamin C which also plays a role in psychological health (2-3).
Tip: for a little variety, alternate kiwi with citrus fruit or red berries - equally rich in vitamin C. Brightening up your day also means eating a diverse range of foods!
You may wish to further boost your intake of vitamin C (by taking, for example, Triple C, a high-quality supplement that combines 3 synergistic forms of vitamin C: ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate and ascorbic palmitate).
For many of us, a comforting bowl of spaghetti bolognese without parmesan is unthinkable. But what you might not know is that this Italian cheese contains high levels of glutamate, an amino acid precursor of gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA). This key neurotransmitter of the central nervous system plays a crucial role in restoring inner calm, thus promoting a feeling of well-being(4).
That doesn’t mean, however, that you should bury your pasta under a mountain of Parmesan: given its high saturated fat content (20.6 g/100 g), it’s best to restrict yourself to a light sprinkling.
For maximum benefit, you can at the same time, supplement directly with GABA (try PharmaGABA®, a gamma-aminobutyric acid supplement produced naturally from Lactobacillus hilgardii).
With its unappetising appearance, calves’ liver is more likely to induce a grimace than a smile, yet it should definitely feature on any self-respecting ‘feel-good’ menu. It is actually high in vitamin B12 which supports normal psychological function (5).
It’s worth noting that vitamin B12 is really only found in animal-source foods . If you’re vegetarian, or simply dislike offal, you can increase your intake of B12 by taking a good quality supplement (for example, Methylcobalamine, which offers the most bioavailable form of vitamin B12).
The French expression “avoir la banane” (“to have the banana”) actually means “to be happy”. Never has a saying been more fitting. If their smile-like shape and soft, sweet flesh weren’t enough, science has confirmed that bananas contain L-tryptophan, an essential amino acid which plays a direct role in the production of serotonin (the ‘happiness hormone’), melatonin (the ‘sleep hormone’), 5-HTP and niacin. Quite a list! (6)
As the body is unable to produce tryptophan, we need to ingest it in order to meet our needs. In addition to dietary measures, innovative supplements are effective at raising levels (such as L-Tryptophan, a quality-assured tryptophan supplement).
Do you reach for the chocolate at the first sign of stress? There’s a chemical reason for this. High in tryptophan, dark chocolate – like bananas - induces the release of serotonin(8). It’s also high in magnesium, a mineral good for mental health (9). And let’s be honest, eating chocolate is an intense sensory pleasure!
But try not to devour an entire bar if you want to maintain a reasonable calorie intake: one or two squares a day is enough.
To boost your serotonin levels, you also have the option of taking a cutting-edge supplement (such as the revolutionary formulation Petidea, which contains peptide precursors of numerous transmitters).

Supersmart is a reliable company. I know my product will arrive, and I am always charged exactly as ordered. Supersmart carries high-quality supplements. My last package, the Mastic Gum package is badly deformed from the shipment, but I checked inside and the content is preserved in tact.
