Use Food to Elevate Your Mood
Most of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to stay away from them. Often, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be extremely nutritious and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you consume them, could better your mood. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly terrific at beating back depression. You need to see to it, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you improve your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–work better. Consume an egg and feel a lot better!
Put together several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to boost your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given time. The more of it you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you are wanting to battle depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you battle your depression.
Some grains are truly great for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel happier. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods as well. Feeling starved can be a real downer! These grains can help your mood elevate because it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is high in a specific amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while at the same relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to elevate your moods as well!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try these hints instead!
