For the most part, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. There are a number of foods that really can improve your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be really terrific at dealing with depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are rich in B vitamins.

Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all great for elevating your mood.

Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein food source.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids.

It’s not difficult to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you feel happier. These foods can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. Feeling famished can actually make you feel terrible!
