Foods That Can Make You Happy
Most of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are terrible and must be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really healthy and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, may improve your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, test out a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at beating back depression. You should be sure, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for raising your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–work better. Eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for elevating your mood. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given moment. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Nuts, in addition to bettering your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you want to feel better. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.
It’s not hard to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually great for helping boost your happiness levels. These foods fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods as well. It’s easy to feel depressed when you feel famished! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You were simply waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid actually stimulates brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while simultaneously making the rest of your body more relaxed. You probably already knew it is not difficult to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know it can help raise your mood too!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
