Foods That Make You Happy
Most of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are bad and to be avoided. At times, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nourishing and good for you. There are some foods that really can raise your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are fantastic for helping you battle depression. Just be sure that you do not throw out the egg yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you raise your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Eat a couple of eggs to cheer up!
Make a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all wonderful for improving your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin levels. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a great protein source.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you are wanting to battle depression. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly boost your mood.
It’s not difficult to overcome your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually great for helping raise your happiness levels. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods as well. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you are starving! These grains can elevate your mood as it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
