Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Many of us think that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we have to avoid them. Sometimes, if your comfort food is candy or another junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nutritious and good for you. There are several foods that, when you consume them, may improve your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to find out, are terrific at fighting depression. You need to be sure, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to improve your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try eating a couple of eggs to feel better!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to raise your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The more serotonin you have, the more pleasant you will feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein food source.
If you wish to battle depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids 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: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly elevate your mood.
Grains can be great for driving away a terrible mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are great at helping you feel better. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling famished can be awful! These grains can help your mood elevate as it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. You digest these grains faster than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Green tea is really good for your mood. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with a particular amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you be so much healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood as well!
