Try Using Food to Elevate Your Mood
Mostly, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and need to be avoided. At times, if the comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. Several foods honestly do boost your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you combat depression. Just see to it that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks particularly, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you elevate your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Consume an egg and be happy!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all helpful for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The more of this chemical in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein source.
If you want to fight depression, try eating some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3s. DHA and omega-3s are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.
Some grains are actually great for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you be happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer as well, helping you feel better. Feeling famished can actually make you feel awful! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood sugar which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You were just waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can basically stimulate brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you be better. And now you are aware that it can help improve your mood also!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
