Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
A lot of us think that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we need to avoid them. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. Some foods really do improve your mood when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to discover, are terrific at battling depression. Just make sure that you do not toss the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, especially the yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for raising your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–work better. Eat an egg and feel better!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all helpful for elevating your mood. This is possible because these foods are high in magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you want to beat back depression. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you fight your depression.
Some grains are really excellent for repelling bad moods. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. They can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You were sure it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies show that this specific amino acid can actually stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time making the rest of your body more relaxed. You knew that green tea helps you feel healthier. Now you know green tea can help you be happier as well!
Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these hints instead.
