How to Improve Your Mood with Food
For the most part, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. At times, if the comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be extremely nourishing and good for you. There are a number of foods that really can raise your moods when you eat them. When you feel a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at beating back depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you boost your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–work better. Eat a couple of eggs to jolly up!
Put together a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all helpful for improving your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that directs your brain how you feel all the time. The more serotonin you have, the happier you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein source.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to beat back depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all high in omega-3 and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly elevate your mood.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly wonderful for helping boost your happiness levels. These foods fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods too. Feeling starved can truly make you feel terrible! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not hard 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, elevates your mood.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You were sure it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to get healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t need to consume all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try some of these tips instead.
