Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Mostly, people have been taught to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and need to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be really healthy and good for you. There are a number of foods that actually can boost your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at beating back depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolks particularly, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for boosting your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–work better. Try consuming a few eggs to feel better!
Make a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to raise your mood. This is possible because these foods are high in magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more serotonin you have, the more pleasant you will feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific source of protein.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. DHA and omega-3s are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can really help you overcome depression.
Some grains are actually great for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you be happier. They help you feel full too which can truly help to improve your mood. Feeling starved can be terrible! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. You digest these foods faster than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Green tea is really great for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This helps improve your mental acuity while calming the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to become healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods as well!
