Foods That Make You Happy
In general, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and must be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be really nourishing and good for you. There are several foods that basically can boost your moods when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you combat depression. Just be sure that you do not toss the egg yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most important part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you improve your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Consume an egg and cheer up!
Put together a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to raise your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you want to battle depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all loaded with omega-3s and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly elevate your mood.
It’s not hard to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all great for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They help you feel full also which can truly help to make your mood better. It’s not difficult to feel depressed when you feel famished! These grains can elevate your mood because it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your glucose levels which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You were just waiting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is found to be packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while at the same relaxing the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods as well!
