Learn How to Elevate Your Mood with Food

A lot of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are not good and to be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be extremely nutritious and good for you. Several foods actually do elevate your mood when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, you may be amazed to find out, are great at combating depression. Just be sure that you do not throw out the yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you improve your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and feel better!

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to boost your mood. This is possible because these foods have a bunch of magnesium which increases your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that directs your brain how you feel at all times. The higher your serotonin levels, the more pleasant you will feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a fantastic source of protein.

If you want to beat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all full of omega-3 fats 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: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.

It’s not hard to drive away your bad mood when you consume grains. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. These grains fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. It’s not hard to feel a little bit off when you are starving! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.

Green tea is fantastic for moods. You just knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea has been found to be packed full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while at the same calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you become so much healthier. Now you are well aware that it helps you to lift your moods too!

Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try some of these instead!
