Good Mood Boosters For Autumn

There’s always that moment in early autumn when you realise the daylight disappears a little earlier than you’d like. The sun slips away before you’re ready and, honestly, it can take the mood down with it.

 

So maybe this is the perfect time to support the body a bit more. Small choices, here and there, that actually make a difference.

Here are eight foods that tend to lift energy and brighten the mind — nothing complicated, just nutrient-packed staples that quietly do their job.

Nuts

If you’ve ever grabbed a handful of nuts between meetings or on a long walk, you’ve probably felt that little surge of energy. They’re full of natural fats, minerals and vitamins. And if you choose unsalted ones, even better.

Yoghurt

Probiotics are like tiny helpers for your gut. A healthy gut often means better digestion, meaning your body can actually use the nutrients you feed it. When that happens, your energy levels don’t dip quite as quickly.

Salmon

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and help balance cholesterol. And then there are the B-vitamins — B6, niacin, riboflavin — that help convert the food you eat into usable energy. No wonder a salmon dinner feels so satisfying.

Mushrooms

They’re naturally high in minerals like zinc, magnesium, potassium and selenium, plus B-vitamins that support everything from metabolism to overall wellbeing. Maybe that’s why mushrooms are the quiet heroes of so many autumn dishes.

Spinach

Think of spinach as a gentle energy leaf. Iron, magnesium, potassium — they all play into muscle and nerve function, and magnesium in particular is tied to energy production.

Pumpkin and sunflower seeds

Just a small handful gives you around half your daily magnesium needs. Magnesium helps muscles relax, supports steady calcium levels and, in general, keeps your body from feeling overstimulated.

Sweet potatoes

One of those foods that feels cosy and nourishing at the same time. They contain iron, potassium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin D — all involved in energy and immunity. Mash them, roast them, toss them into a curry… they’re pretty forgiving.

Eggs

A classic for a reason. Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, iron and selenium. If you eat the whole egg you get the full nutrient spectrum, including healthy fats. The only things missing are carbs and vitamin C, but otherwise they tick most boxes.

And since autumn tends to challenge the skin too — cooler air, indoor heating, less sunlight — it’s also a good moment to give your complexion an extra boost.
