How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
A lot of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must stay away from them. Sometimes, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. There are several foods that really can raise your moods when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, test out some of these.
Eggs, you may be amazed to find out, are terrific at combating depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolk especially, are high in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for boosting your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Eat an egg and feel a lot better!
Put together a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more serotonin you have, the happier you will feel. Nuts, on top of improving your mood, can be a super source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you are wanting to feel happier. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all high in omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.
Grains can be good for fighting a bad mood. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all wonderful for helping you be in a happier state of mind. These foods can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. Feeling starved can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are easy to digest. You digest them faster than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You were sure it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is chock-full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you feel healthier. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods also!
So you see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are bad for you to feel better! Try some of these instead!
