4. Still have childhood nightmares about Brussels sprouts? Return to old favorites like celery or asparagus.

Asparagus is a summer, grill-friendly replacement. Again, Farrell says it’s great for heart health. It’s also a great source of folic acid—a nutrient we typically associate with pregnant women, but one that can also help ward off depression in men by preventing a buildup of the amino acid homocysteine. Excess homocysteine is linked to moodiness, lack of sleep, and increased rates of heart disease.
