Foods That Make Your Mood Better
Mostly, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and have to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that, when you consume them, can improve your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional boost, try a few of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to learn, are great at battling depression. Just see to it that you do not throw out the egg yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you improve your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat a couple of eggs to cheer up!
Put together a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all great for raising your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a great protein source.
If you wish to overcome depression, try eating some cold water fish. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. DHA and omega-3s are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.
Some grains are actually great for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are fantastic at helping you feel better. These foods fill you up better and that can help you with your moods as well. It’s not difficult to feel depressed when you feel hungry! These grains can improve your mood since it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You just knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you feel better. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood as well!
So you see, you don’t need to consume all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Go with these tips instead!
