The Feel-Good Fish
When Lori Zanini, a nutritionist in Manhattan Beach, Calif., is glum, she tries to eat cold-water fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, herring and albacore tuna. The fish's omega-3 fats aren't just
great for your cardiovascular health; they're also linked to
enhanced mood and brain function. Some studies have even found that mild-to-moderate depression may be relieved with fish-oil supplements,
which are high in omega-3s.
How she eats it: There are tons of ways to prepare fish, but Zanini keeps it simple, usually just baking it, or marinating and grilling it. We love
this easy roasted salmon with honey-dijon glaze. Or, try
these salmon burgers, which are tucked into pita pockets.
