Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood
Many of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are terrible and should be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. There are a number of foods that basically can boost your moods when you consume them. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are wonderful for helping you fight depression. You need to make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, particularly the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you boost your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Try consuming a couple of eggs to jolly up!
Put together a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that directs your brain how you feel all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are great if you would like to feel better. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA.

It’s not difficult to overcome your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are fantastic at helping you feel happier. These foods can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. It’s easy to feel low when you feel famished! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest and process. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Your mood can truly be helped by green tea. You were just anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid called L-theanine.
