Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood
Most of us have been trained to think that comfort foods are bad and are to be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be super nourishing and good for you. There are several foods that basically can boost your moods when you eat them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at fighting back depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. Every time you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you boost your mood. This is because these vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat some eggs to jolly up!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which promotes your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that directs your brain how you feel at all times. The more of this chemical in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Nuts, on top of elevating your mood, can be a superb protein source.
Cold water fish are good if you are wanting to feel happier. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.
Some grains are truly wonderful for driving away bad moods. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. These foods can help you feel full for longer as well, which is a mood improver. Feeling starved can be awful! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. You digest these foods faster than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Your mood could truly be helped by green tea. You were just expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is high in a certain amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to become healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are aware that green tea helps you to lift your moods too!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try a few of these instead!
