Take a Chill-Pepita
More and more studies show that plant-based diets can significantly improve our moods. Pepitas, in particular, can naturally boost serotonin levels in your brain, the hormone associated with well-being and happiness. They’re also rich in zinc, a mineral that’s essential for our immune systems to fully function. Try them as a snack, or if available, as a spread!

The Berry Best Antioxidants
From early childhood, our eyes are quickly drawn to bright, vivid colors in real food (watch out for those artificial dyes trying to fool you!) — especially in berries, as we know instinctively that rich and rare colors (blues, reds) mean rich nutrition. Only herbs & spices beat berries for phytonutrients and antioxidants, which boost your immunity to infections, cancers, heart disease, cognitive decline, and much more.
