Brazil Nuts and Mood

Studies suggest that selenium (a trace mineral) can improve mood. The intake of 100 mcg of selenium per day over a five-weeks period was associated with lower feelings of depression, anxiety and fatigue. Brazil nuts are one of the highest sources of selenium, with one to two nuts supplying 100 to 200 mcg.
