Foods That Make You Happy
Most of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are not good and must be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be extremely healthy and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, could improve your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are fantastic for helping you combat depression. You must make sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be terrific for lifting up your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Eat a couple of eggs to feel better!
Make a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which boosts serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel day in and day out. The higher your levels of serotonin, the happier you are going to feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein food source.
Cold water fish are great if you want to feel happier. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. DHA and omega-3s are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight depression.
Grains can be wonderful for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all great for helping you feel better. They help you feel full also which can really help to improve your mood. Feeling hungry can be awful! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. You digest them quicker than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You were just anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is high in a particular amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proven that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while at the same calming the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you be a lot healthier. Now you are aware that green tea can help you be happier too!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you so you can feel better! Go with these suggestions instead!
