Foods That Make You Happy
A lot of us have been conditioned to believe that comfort foods are not good and must be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, could better your mood. If you feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are fantastic for helping you combat depression. Just make sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are loaded with B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be terrific for raising your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Try consuming some eggs to cheer up!
Put together a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to boost your mood. This is because these nuts are rich in magnesium, which helps to increase your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The more serotonin you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a super source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you would like to feel happier. Cold water fish such as 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 true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight back depression.
Grains can be wonderful for driving away a bad mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping boost your happiness levels. They help you feel full also which can really help to better your mood. It’s easy to feel low when you feel famished! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are easy for your body to digest and process. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is found to be rich in an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not difficult to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that it helps you to lift your moods too!
As you can see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you wish to feel better! Try some of these suggestions instead.
