Use Food to Improve Your Mood
A lot of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must stay away from them. Often, if the comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this holds true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be utterly nourishing and good for us to eat. There are some foods that, when you consume them, could boost your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, you might be surprised to learn, are terrific at combating depression. You must make sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk particularly, are stuffed full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to improve your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–work better. Consume an egg and be happy!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or 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 raise serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The more of this chemical in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a great protein source.
Cold water fish are good if you would like to feel better. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.
Some grains are actually excellent for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly wonderful for helping increase your happiness levels. They help you feel full too which can really help to better your mood. Feeling hungry can actually make you feel terrible! These grains can elevate your mood since it’s easy for your body to digest them. You digest them quicker than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You just knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has proven that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while at the same calming the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you become a lot healthier. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods also!
