Turn to Food to Elevate Your Mood
Most of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are terrible and must be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be 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 eat them, could boost your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually terrific at dealing with depression. Just make sure that you do not throw out the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for boosting your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that dictate your mood. Eat a couple of eggs to cheer up!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all great for improving your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to boost your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more you have of it, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a super protein source.
If you wish to overcome depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3s and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you battle your depression.
Some grains are actually wonderful for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all excellent for helping you feel happier. They help you feel full too which can really help to better your mood. It’s not difficult to feel depressed when you are starving! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. You digest these foods faster than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is chock-full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while simultaneously making the rest of your body more relaxed. You already knew green tea could help you be healthier. Now you know green tea can help you be happier also!
So you see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you wish to feel better! Go with these hints instead!
