"mood elevating food" news and stories

You said "One of my new year's resolutions is to 'be happier.'" Well, that's all well and good, but you can't just sit there and pout about not being able to figure out how to make yourself happy!

Maybe you should eat something, which is a real step toward resolution. About.com has put together a short list of five foods that will help elevate mood, and we're not just talking about happily diving head-first into a hot fudge brownie sundae. In fact, you could take About.com's picks and set a menu for an entire day! Start the day with a breakfast of oatmeal, topped with walnuts, have a lunch of poached salmon and a side of lentils, then drink a cup of tea in the afternoon. You'll be skipping to Happytown by dinner!
