Bell Pepper

Bell peppers are not only delicious, but bright and mood-boosting too! Like blueberries, bell peppers contain anthocyanin, which gives them their color and may also have a protective effect on brain cells. 

They're also full of fiber, which helps digest food properly. In 2021, a study also showed that a higher intake of fiber was associated with less depression among women experiencing perimenopause.
