Learn How to Improve Your Mood with Food
Mostly, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be extremely nutritious and good for you. Several foods really do elevate your mood when you consume them. When you feel a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, test out some of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you combat depression. Just be sure that you don’t toss out 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, the egg yolks particularly, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for elevating your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that affect your mood. Try eating a couple of eggs to cheer up!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all great for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more of it you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein food source.
Cold water fish are good if you want to feel happier. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all loaded with omega-3 and DHA. 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 fight back depression.
It’s not hard to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually excellent for helping raise your happiness levels. They fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. It’s easy to feel low when you feel hungry! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. You digest them faster than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is high in a specific amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This helps raise your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you be so much healthier. Now you are aware that green tea can help improve your mood as well!
