Information on How to Improve Your Mood with Food
For the most part, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and should be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. There are several foods that, when you consume them, may boost your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out a few of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are wonderful for helping you battle depression. You should see to it, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk especially, are stuffed full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and be happy!
Make a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all great for raising your mood. This is possible because these foods are high in magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that directs your brain how you feel all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the more pleasant you will feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a terrific source of protein.
Cold water fish are good if you wish to feel better. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3s and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA 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 seriously elevate your mood.
Some grains are really excellent for repelling bad moods. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you feel better. They can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You were simply waiting to read that, weren’t you? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps raise your mental acuity while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you be better. Now you know that applies to your mood also!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try a few of these hints instead.
