Don't worry, B happy
To feel better, eat plenty of foods rich in B vitamins. It can help stoke your feel-good fires, making it less likely you'll be moody, irritable, impatient, or depressed.
Along with reversing moodiness, irritability, impatience, tension, anger, and depression, B vitamins may increase energy and promote a sense of well-being, writes Jack Challem in The Food-Mood Solution.
You can get all the B you need from a B-complex supplement or a multivitamin. Or stock up on some of the best food sources of B:
For B1 (thiamin): wheat germ, peas, long-grain brown rice, lentils, pork, and whole-wheat bread
For B2 (riboflavin): fortified cereals, milk, almonds, and broccoli
For B3 (niacin): tuna, chicken, salmon, fortified cereals, and peanuts
For B5 (pantothenic acid): yogurt, avocadoes, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and chicken
For B6: fortified cereals, bananas, salmon, and spinach
For B12: chicken, turkey, milk, and eggs
For folate: fortified cereals, lentils, garbanzo beans, orange juice
