5 Mood-boosting foods

Level: B1
Topic: Food – Mood and Healthy Eating
Keywords: nutrition, mood, healthy habits, food & mind connection
In this B1 Reading Worksheet, students read an adapted article about how certain foods can improve mood and mental health.
The activity develops reading comprehension through a gap-filling exercise focused on cohesion and coherence, helping learners identify logical sentence connections in context.
Students also review and expand their vocabulary on food and health, practise paraphrasing and synonym recognition (e.g., reduce → cut down on, connection → link), and consolidate reading skills such as scanning for details and inferring meaning.
This worksheet is perfect for classes focused on healthy lifestyle, mental wellbeing, and everyday English for real-life topics. It integrates grammar, vocabulary, and critical reading in a natural and engaging way.
