The nutritionist named a drink that helps to lift the mood in 10 minutes.

Nutritionist and nutritionist Roman Pristansky told us which foods can boost mood.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Thursday, April 16, the expert noted that sweets and carbohydrates give a quick burst of energy, since the body evolutionarily reacts to sources such as berries or chocolate.

According to him, there are products that not only provide a short-term effect, but also help to maintain a good mood for longer. In particular, he highlighted green tea, explaining that due to its high content of theanine, an amino acid associated with the metabolism of serotonin, it helps improve mood. The nutritionist recommended limiting yourself to one or two mugs brewed at a temperature of about 85-90 degrees.

The expert also added that chocolate can be used to boost mood if it fits into the daily calorie intake. At the same time, he stressed that fats do not play a key role in the formation of feelings of joy: they are necessary for the body as a source of energy and for the production of hormones, but carbohydrates play the main role in this process.
