Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
Many of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are not good and must be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be very nutritious and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you consume them, could better your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually terrific at fighting back depression. You should be sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most important part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you elevate your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Consume an egg and jolly up!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel all the time. The more serotonin you have, the better you will feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a terrific source of protein.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.
Some grains are actually great for driving away bad moods. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are excellent at helping you be happier. They help you feel full as well which can really help to make your mood better. Feeling hungry can be terrible! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s easy 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 kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is really good for your mood. You knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You already knew green tea could help you feel better. Now you are aware that it can help raise your mood too!
See, you don’t need to consume all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Go with these suggestions instead!
