Are you struck by a midweek blue too? Or, are you generally just having a bad day? Well, either way, we are sharing ways to cheer up a super-gloomy day with these easy and fun recipes.

There is no debate about the amount of stress that we handle every day, be it personal or professional. And sometimes, daily stress and anxiety can get the best of our mood, turning the day into a bleak and gloomy one. But we believe, taking the right measures can turn any bad day into a sunny one and the first measure should be indulging in good food!

The first and foremost thing which bends the day towards a sulking one is skipping breakfast! Are you someone who skips breakfast regularly or once in a while? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure to start the day with a sumptuous and healthy breakie to avoid the day turning into an absolute disaster. As without a proper boost of energy in the morning, how would you survive the long day?

Secondly, according to science, an unhealthy lifestyle and food habits can eventually affect your mental health. So, even without any proper reason, you may feel a little under the weather cause of the unhealthy lifestyle that we lead. To avoid this, initiate a healthy diet today and trust us, it's easier than you would have thought.

So, what do we do when we are tangled up in a bad day and there seems to be no end to it? Turn to your taste-buds, dear readers! Science has proved, taking the right food (foods high with antioxidants or right kind of hormones) can actually prevent inflammation in the brain, so you will feel less discouraged and gain the strength to make it through the day.

For our "top cheer me up recipes", we will talk about recipes using these ingredients and how exactly do they help you in boosting your energy and turn your bad day around.
