Foods That Can Make You Happy
Most of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to stay away from them. At times, if the comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be very nourishing and good for us to consume. There are several foods that basically can improve your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really terrific at dealing with depression. Just make sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for elevating your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Consume an egg and feel better!
Make some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more serotonin in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a fantastic source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you are wanting to be in a better mood. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can really help you fight your depression.
Grains can be good for fighting a bad mood. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you be happier. They help you feel full as well which can really help to make your mood better. Feeling starved can really bring you down! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are easy to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This helps improve your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You likely already knew how easy it is to get healthy when you consume green tea. And now you are aware that it can help you be happier too!
