A study found that chicken soup is a suitable food after a breakup. According to researchers, there is a correlation between chicken soup and positive psychological associations with relationships.
As published in the Journal of the Association for Psychological Science, chicken soup contains an amino acid called tryptophan.
These amino acids will help the body be healthier and emotionally more stable. Apart from that, it can also reduce the risk of stress and depression.
2. Raw fruits and vegetables
A healthy and clean diet can have a big impact, not only on physical health, but also mental health. This is scientifically proven.
According to a study, consuming raw fruits and vegetables can lead to better mental health. Therefore, fruit and vegetables are suitable for consumption after a breakup.
Fruit and vegetables are rich in important nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and high in polyphenols which keep the mind positive. However, cooking it on the stove top in the oven can reduce its nutritional value.
