How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Most of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must avoid them. At times, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this holds true.

If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are fantastic for helping you battle depression. You should see to it, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for elevating your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Consume an egg and be happy!
Put together a trail mixfrom various seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all helpful for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical 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, along with elevating your mood, can be a super source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you are wanting to feel better. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA 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 basically help you fight back depression.
Some grains are actually wonderful for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all good for helping you feel happier. These foods fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. Feeling starved can really bring you down! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard to digest. You digest these foods more quickly than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
