Foods That Make Your Mood Better
In general, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and need to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be extremely nourishing and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, may better your mood. If you feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, you might be amazed to discover, are terrific at battling depression. You must see to it, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you raise your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–run better. Try eating an egg and jolly up!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all good for improving your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more of it you have, the happier you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a terrific protein food source.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you wish to combat depression. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all high in omega-3s and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly raise your mood.
It’s not hard to fight your bad mood when you eat grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are great at helping you feel happier. These foods fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you feel famished! These grains can help your mood elevate because it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is really good for your mood. You just knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is high in a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not difficult to become healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know it can help raise your mood also!
