How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
A lot of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we need to keep away from them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nourishing and good for us to consume. Several foods honestly do raise your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are fantastic for helping you fight depression. Just be sure that you do not throw out the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you improve your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Try eating an egg and cheer up!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible since these foods are rich in magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a super protein source.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you wish to fight depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly raise your mood.
Some grains are actually excellent for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually wonderful for helping boost your happiness levels. They help you feel full as well which can actually help to better your mood. Feeling starved can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process. You digest these foods more quickly than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You were just waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a particular amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you feel healthier. And now you are aware that green tea can help improve your mood as well!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these tips instead.
