【背景介紹】
科學家發現，人的喜怒哀樂與飲食有著密切的關系，有的食品能夠使人快樂、安寧，有的食品則使人悲傷、憂愁、焦慮、憤怒，甚至是恐懼和狂燥。原理很簡單，就是人體中一種稱為血清素的物質有助于鎮定情緒、解除焦慮，而這6種食物正是能促進血清素的分泌從而給人帶來快樂的情緒。

A cupcake may briefly lift your spirits, but these dietary changes can keep you happier in the long run.
You Will Need
Walnuts
Fatty fish
Foods rich in folic acid
Chicken and turkey
Complex carbs
Sesame seeds
Wild fish (optional)
Step 1: Munch on walnuts（多吃胡桃）
Munch on a handful of walnuts. They’re a rich source of vitamin B6, which the body needs to produce serotonin, a brain chemical involved in staving off depression. Sunflower seeds and wheat germ are also good sources of B6.
Step 2: Fill up on fish（一周至少吃兩次魚）
Eat at least two servings of fish per week. The omega-3 fatty acids in seafood increase serotonin levels, and some research indicates that people who eat fish less than once a week have about a 30 percent higher incidence of depression.
Wild fish has higher concentrations of omega-3s than farmed fish.
Step 3: Increase your intake of folic acid（多吃含葉酸的蔬菜和食物）
Eat foods that contain folic acid, also called folate — spinach, lentils, asparagus, and peas. Researchers have found a possible link between depression and low levels of this B vitamin.
Step 4: Have the fowl（多吃家禽，包括雞肉，火雞肉等）
Enjoy chicken and turkey; both have tryptophan, an amino acid that is essential to the production of serotonin. Researchers have found that people who are deprived of tryptophan fall into a depression.
Step 5: Pass the pasta（失望的時候，你也可以嘗試吃面食）
When you’re feeling stressed, eat complex carbohydrates like whole-grain breads and pasta. Carbs enable tryptophan to enter the brain.
Step 6: Sprinkle sesame seeds on salads（在沙拉醬上涂上芝麻）
Eat tahini or snack on sesame seeds. They’re rich in the amino acid threonine, a deficiency of which has been linked to depression.
According to research, people who eat a Mediterranean-style diet — high in fruits, vegetables, and fish — are less likely to get depressed than those who eat mostly processed and fatty foods.
