How to Boost Your Mood with Food
Many of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we should stay away from them. Sometimes, if your comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this is very true. Other times, comfort foods can be utterly nourishing and good for us to consume. There are several foods that, when you consume them, may improve your mood. If you feel a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are fantastic for helping you combat depression. Just be sure that you do not throw out the egg yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the yolks particularly, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for lifting up your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Try eating an egg and jolly up!
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Nuts, in addition to bettering your mood, can be a superb protein source.
Cold water fish are good if you want to be in a better mood. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all high in omega-3 fats and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously boost your mood.
Grains can be wonderful for driving away a bad mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping increase your happiness levels. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. Feeling starved can be terrible! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest and process. You digest them quicker than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You already knew that green tea helps you feel better. Now you know that applies to your mood also!
You can see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are terrible for you just so to feel better! Go with these tips instead!
