There's a never-ending quest for happiness! While we may not find the ultimate panacea, this list of 'happy' foods may provide temporary relief:

Vitamin B6 - present in bananas, chicken breast, garlic, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, sunflower seeds, broccoli, red bell peppers, watermelon, avocados, and potatoes

B6 plays a role in metabolism and the synthesis of neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. These things tell your brain to be happy. So when you feel depressed, try grabbing sunflower seeds or bananas.
