The health and mood of a person are linked to the diet they follow, as some foods can cause anxiety while others increase the production of the happiness hormone. Dr. Mikhail Ginzburg, a Russian nutrition expert, mentions in an interview with the newspaper "Vechernaya Moskva" that there are indeed food products that enhance the production of the happiness hormone:
1. **Sweets**: All types of sweets improve a person's mood since they provide the body with three essential components for mood enhancement: sugar, fats, and salt.
2. **Fruits**: Fruits help improve mood due to their anti-inflammatory effects. They also positively impact vascular health, enhancing the overall state of a person and, consequently, their mood.
3. **Nuts and Dried Fruits**: Nuts contain large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which help control anxiety. Dried fruits are rich in flavonoid compounds.
4. **Cocoa and Spices**: These products stimulate the production of dopamine—the happiness hormone—thus they can genuinely improve mood.
