Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
A lot of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are not good and should be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be totally healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. Some foods honestly do improve your mood when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, test out a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you fight depression. Just make sure that you don’t toss out the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, especially the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you elevate your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Try eating some eggs to feel better!
Put together a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all helpful for improving your mood. This is possible because these foods are high in magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a great protein food source.
Cold water fish are good if you want to be in a better mood. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly raise your mood.
Some grains are actually excellent for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all great for helping you feel better. They help you feel full too which can really help to improve your mood. Feeling hungry can be terrible! These grains can improve your mood as it’s easy for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your glucose levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You were just expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid called L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you feel so much healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood as well!
