Foods That Make You Happy
For the most part, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and should be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be super healthy and good for you. A number of foods really do raise your mood when you consume them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, you may be astonished to learn, are wonderful at combating depression. You need to make sure, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you raise your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that control your mood. Try consuming some eggs to jolly up!
Make a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible as these foods are high in magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more serotonin in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a fantastic source of protein.
If you wish to fight depression, try eating some cold water fish. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight back depression.
Some grains are truly wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all excellent for helping you feel happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer as well, which is a mood improver. It’s easy to feel depressed when you feel famished! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest and process. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You just knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is high in a particular amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while also loosening up the rest of your body. You probably already knew how easy it is to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are well aware that it helps you to lift your moods too!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you want to help your moods get better. Test out these tips instead!
