Food can have a big impact on our lives in many different ways. Among other things, it can help us feel better when we’re feeling down, and some foods do a better job than others. You probably have your own favorite comfort foods you turn to when you need to, and here are some ideas that work for most people.
A Shocking Result
Meal delivery company HelloFresh conducted a research where they asked people about how certain foods affect their mood. The respondents gave some interesting answers and the most common answer to the question which food boosts their mood most was tacos. A third of the people who answered said tacos are their favorite for this purpose.
Other Classics
Other favorites include steak, bacon and eggs, fried rice, pancakes or waffles, mac and cheese, baked potatoes, cheeseburgers, French fries, and fried chicken. All these foods belong to a group that’s often craved, so it could be possible that the craving and expectation leads to the dopamine hit once we try them. The more you think about a certain food and the more you crave it, the more you’ll be satisfied once you finally get to eat it.
