Foods That Make Your Mood Better

A lot of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. Some foods really do elevate your mood when you consume them. If you seem to feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, you may be surprised to learn, are wonderful at fighting depression. You must be sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for elevating your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–run better. Eat a couple of eggs to feel better!

Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible because these foods are high in magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel all the time. The more serotonin you have, the happier you will feel. Not only that but nuts, in particular, are a great protein food source.

Cold water fish are good if you wish to feel happier. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.

It’s easy to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. They help you feel full also which can really help to better your mood. Feeling starved can truly make you feel awful! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your sugar levels which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid actually stimulates brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew how easy it is to become healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood as well!

As you can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you so you can feel better! Try a few of these instead!
