Eggs, you may be amazed to find out, are fantastic at battling depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, particularly the yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to boost your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase 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 several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all helpful for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the better you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein source.

Some grains are actually great for driving away bad moods. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are fantastic at helping you be happier. They help you feel full as well which can really help to better your mood. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you are starving! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest.
