A lot of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are not good and should be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this is true. At times, comfort foods can be very healthy and good for us to consume. Several foods actually do improve your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you battle depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are loaded with B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be terrific for raising your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood.

Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which promotes your production of serotonin. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
If you would like to battle depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all loaded with omega-3s and DHA. These are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly elevate your mood.
Some grains are really wonderful for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually excellent for helping increase your happiness levels. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. It’s not difficult to feel low when you feel famished! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. You digest them more quickly than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
