Foods That Make Your Mood Better
Mostly, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and need to be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to consume. There are some foods that, when you eat them, may boost your mood. If you seem to feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really terrific at beating back depression. Just see to it that you do not toss the yolk. Whenever you want to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most important part of the egg. Eggs, the yolks particularly, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are wonderful for helping to raise your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all wonderful for raising your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein food source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to combat depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all chock-full of omega-3s and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.
It’s easy to drive away your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you be happier. They help you feel full also which can truly help to make your mood better. Feeling hungry can really make you feel awful! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy 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 excellent for your mood. You just knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is found to be packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps raise your mental sharpness while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you feel better. Now you know that green tea helps you to lift your moods also!
See, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try some of these suggestions instead.
