Information on How to Boost Your Mood with Food
Most of us think that comfort foods are not good for us and that we should avoid them. At times, if the comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is very true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be totally nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that actually can raise your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out a few of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to discover, are great at combating depression. Just make sure that you do not throw out the yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, particularly the yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for raising your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that dictate your mood. Try to eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
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 as these foods have a bunch of magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Nuts, on top of elevating your mood, can be a super protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.
It’s not difficult to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all excellent for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They help you feel full also which can actually help to improve your mood. Feeling starved can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be better. Now you know that green tea helps you to lift your moods also!
You can see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are bad for you so you can feel better! Try several of these instead!
