'Asparagus - As one of the top plant-based sources of tryptophan, asparagus helps boost serotonin levels in the body. The body naturally synthesizes tryptophan into serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps maintain a positive mood. The high levels of folate in asparagus can also help boost your happiness.  Avocado - Avocados pack a hefty punch of serotonin-boosting vitamin B3. Avocados also contain omega-3 fatty acids. These have been linked to brain health and mood regulation. So, while the fatty acids don’t directly produce happiness hormones, they naturally support them.  Blue potatoes - Potato skins contain the best nutrients in this vegetable. For blue potatoes, the skin contains ample iodine, which helps regulate the thyroid gland. This little gland is responsible for many functions of the body, not the least of which is mood regulation. Keeping the thyroid happy can help keep you happy.  Cherry tomatoes - Cherry tomatoes pack a bigger punch of lycopene because of the increased amount of surface area on them. One of lycopene’s largest benefits is the prevention of buildup of pro-inflammatory compounds. Olive oil helps increase the amount of lycopene the body can absorb.  Dark chocolate - Antioxidant-rich dark chocolate boosts mood naturally, but its added punch of N-acylethanolamine group of chemicals stimulates the brain to release endorphins. These neurotransmitters help to reduce pain. They can also help induce a feeling of euphoria, release sex hormones and boost the immune system.   Honey - Honey can have a positive impact on your mood. This is because it contains kaempferol and quercetin, chemicals which reduce inflammation in the brain. Honey also has far less of an impact on your blood-sugar level, which means you won’t have a sudden sugar crash that can leave you tired and depressed.  Mussels - Mussels are another thyroid-nourishing food. They contain trace minerals of zinc, iodine and selenium, that keep the thyroid running properly.  Mussels are also loaded with vitamin B12, which protects the brain from inflammatory damage.  Nuts and Seeds - Nuts and seeds contain tryptophan, a precursor for serotonin. Nuts also deliver antioxidants, which can lower your risk of depression. Pumpkin seeds are rich in tryptophan and may even help you sleep better when eaten one or two hours before bed. Sesame seeds can help lower your blood pressure, which also helps your body move from a stressful state to one that’s more restful.  Pineapple - Pineapple contains bromelain, a protein that can help suppress a cough and lessen the effects of chemotherapy, but it also boosts natural serotonin through its high serum concentration.  Salmon - Rich in tryptophan, salmon helps the body produce serotonin. Consuming the fish also helps reduce inflammation through its omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Together with other B vitamins, salmon gives you a mood boost while protecting the nerves in your brain.  Spicy Peppers - Capsaicin, the chemical that makes chili peppers spicy, actually sends a sensation of pain to the body. That’s right, you’re experiencing pain, not taste when you bite into a red pepper. In turn, the brain releases endorphins to try and help the body cope with that pain. A byproduct of endorphins is a sense of relaxed happiness.  Spinach boasts phenylethylamine, which can reduce monoamine oxidase break down in the same way that old-fashioned anti-depressants did. It also delivers a healthful amount of magnesium to the body, which helps boost energy, a must-have when you’re feeling down.  What’s your favorite happiness-boosting food on this list?
