Use Food to Improve Your Mood
For the most part, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be extremely nourishing and good for you. There are some foods that, when you eat them, may boost your mood. If you seem to feel a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you fight depression. Just make sure that you don’t toss out the yolk. Every time you wish to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Eat a couple of eggs to cheer up!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to increase your production of serotonin. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The more you have of it, the happier you will feel. Nuts, on top of raising your mood, can be a superb protein source.
If you wish to defeat depression, you should eat some cold water fish. 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 the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you fight your depression.
Some grains are actually wonderful for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really excellent for helping raise your happiness levels. They fill you up better and that can help you with your moods as well. Feeling famished can really bring you down! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You were just waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you feel healthier. Now you are aware that it can help raise your mood too!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
