6. Improve your mood
Usually, the delicious foods that can improve your mood right away are high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods. This is because they stimulate the production of serotonin and dopamine. However, we all know that this feeling of immediate pleasure is not worth the medium and long-term damage that a diet rich in this type of food does to our health. Fortunately, there are blueberries. The flavonoid antioxidants present in blueberries may contribute to making you feel emotionally better. This suggestion was made by the scientist who conducted a study on the effects of acute blueberry flavonoids on mood in children and young adults – which is precisely the title of the article they published in 2017. The mechanisms that link flavonoid interventions with improved positive mood are not yet fully understood, but the results observed are quite promising.
