Spinach is a great source of folic acid, a B vitamin also known as folate.
Clinical studies have linked a deficiency of folic acid to depression, in part because too little folic acid leads to lower levels of serotonin in the brain, which can help stabilize mood.
Other foods loaded with folic acid include sunflower seeds, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, wheat germ, oatmeal, black-eyed peas, lentils, soybeans and mustard greens.
