Try Using Food to Elevate Your Mood
Many of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are terrible and are to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. At times, comfort foods can be very healthy and good for us to eat. Several foods actually do boost your mood when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are wonderful for helping you fight depression. You should make sure, however, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you raise your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that dictate your mood. Consume an egg and feel happier!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all fantastic for helping to elevate your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The higher your levels of serotonin, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not only that but nuts, in particular, are a fantastic source of protein.
If you would like to battle depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you overcome depression.
Some grains are really great for repelling bad moods. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are great at helping you feel happier. These foods fill you up better and that can help improve your moods also. Feeling starved can truly bring you down! These grains can elevate your mood as it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You were just expecting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You probably already knew it is not difficult to get healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood also!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
