Answer:

Eating too little fat can make you feel grouchy. Foods high in fat increase endorphins and make you happy. Endorphins are opiate-like chemicals that are the 鈥渇eel good鈥?neurotransmitters. To help keep your moods on an even keel, choose healthy fats such as monounsaturated fats found in olive oil, almonds and avocados.

Additionally, the Omega-3 fatty acids found in seafood (especially salmon, lobster and shrimp), walnuts and olive oil may also help to reduce depression.
