What food instantly puts you in a better mood? It's usually something really bad for you, like bacon or some heavy comfort food, right?
Well, according to SWNS, a recent study by Yakult looked into the foods that people think make them feel better and I know this is going to come as a shock, but almost all of them aren't good for you.
Milk chocolate is the #1 food people think has mood-boosting powers, followed closely by dark chocolate.
Coffee is next, followed by ice cream, chocolate cookies, cake, bananas, tea, berries, pizza, beer, red wine, fries, cheese, and "sweets." Who reaches for a banana for comfort food or to boost a mood unless it's on top of a banana split?
"Nuts and seeds" is next at #16, followed by "oily fish" like salmon.
Then, finally, bacon came in at #18 and then "potato chips and other savory snacks," and cookies.
