Turn to Food to Improve Your Mood
Many of us believe that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we need to keep away from them. Often, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be extremely nourishing and good for you. There are several foods that actually can improve your moods when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to learn, are great at fighting depression. You need to be sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to improve your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Consume an egg and cheer up!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that tells your brain how you feel all the time. The more you have of it, the better you will feel. Nuts, on top of raising your mood, can be a super protein source.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you wish to fight depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3s and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can really help you fight your depression.
Some grains are actually excellent for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really excellent for helping boost your happiness levels. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. It’s not difficult to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s easy for your body to digest them. You digest these foods quicker than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is found to be chock-full of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can basically stimulate brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while at the same time relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you be healthier. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to raise your moods also!
