Use Food to Improve Your Mood
Most of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are terrible and should be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to consume. Several foods really do raise your mood when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you fight depression. Just be sure that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are wonderful 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 affect how you feel). Try consuming some eggs to cheer up!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible as these foods are high in magnesium which increases your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that directs the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more serotonin you have, the better you will feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you want to be in a better mood. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.
Grains can be excellent for overcoming a terrible mood. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. They can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your glucose levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is wonderful for moods. You were just waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can basically induce brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while at the same relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not difficult to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to raise your moods too!
