Foods That Make Your Mood Better

A lot of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must keep away from them. At times, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. Some foods honestly do boost your mood when you consume them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly great at fighting back depression. You should see to it, however, that what you make includes the yolk. Whenever you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for elevating your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try eating a few eggs to feel better!

Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all good for improving your mood. This is possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that directs your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein food source.

If you want to defeat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. 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 raise your mood.

It’s easy to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are fantastic at helping you feel happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer as well, helping you feel better. It’s easy to feel low when you are starving! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You just knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid referred to as L-theanine.
