Foods That Make Your Mood Better
Most of us have been conditioned to believe that comfort foods are terrible and are to be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be perfectly nourishing and good for us to consume. There are several foods that really can boost your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, you may be astonished to discover, are wonderful at combating depression. You must see to it, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to raise your mood. This is because these vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible as these foods are high in magnesium which boosts serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. 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 wish to feel better. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3s and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.
It’s not hard to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all wonderful for helping you be in a happier state of mind. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling starved can truly bring you down! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Green tea is actually great for your mood. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is high in a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This helps improve your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you become so much healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood as well!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Go with these tips instead!
