Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
For the most part, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and have to be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to eat. A number of foods actually do improve your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at fighting back depression. Just be sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. Every time you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most important part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for lifting up your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Eat an egg and feel happier!
Put together a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The more of it you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a great protein food source.
If you wish to beat depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all chock-full of omega-3s and DHA. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you fight your depression.
It’s not hard to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all excellent for helping you feel better. These foods can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling starved can really make you feel awful! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood sugar which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is wonderful for moods. You knew it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea has been found to be packed full of an amino acid referred to as 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 were already aware that green tea could help you become better. Now you know that it helps you to raise your moods too!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Go with these suggestions instead!
