Use Food to Improve Your Mood
Most of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we must keep away from them. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be very nourishing and good for you. There are some foods that basically can raise your moods when you consume them. When you feel a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, test out some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at dealing with depression. You need to be sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. Whenever you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be terrific for elevating your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that affect your mood. Eat an egg and feel better!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin production. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein food source.
If you would like to beat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3s. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight back depression.
Grains can be good for fighting a bad mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all good for helping you feel happier. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. It’s easy to feel low when you feel hungry! These grains can elevate your mood since it’s easy for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You were sure it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is found to be rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while also relaxing the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to lift your moods too!
So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you to feel better! Try several of these instead!
