Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood
In general, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and need to be avoided. Sometimes, if the comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is very true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be utterly nutritious and good for us to eat. There are a number of foods that, when you consume them, could better your mood. When you feel a little down and are in need of an emotional boost, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at fighting back depression. Just make sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk particularly, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Try consuming a couple of eggs to jolly up!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be elevated by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that tells your brain how you feel all the time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a superb protein source.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can really help you battle your depression.
Some grains are actually excellent for driving away bad moods. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. Feeling famished can really make you feel terrible! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy for your body to digest. You digest these foods quicker than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies show that this specific amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental acuity while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to be healthy when you drink green tea. And now you are aware that green tea can help raise your mood also!
So you see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you want to feel better! Try these tips instead!
