Foods That Can Make You Happy

A lot of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are terrible and are to be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this is true. At times, comfort foods can be utterly nourishing and good for us to consume. A number of foods actually do improve your mood when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional boost, try a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be really terrific at beating back depression. Just see to it that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. Whenever you wish to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Eat an egg and cheer up!

Put together a trail mixfrom a variety of seeds and nuts. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on.

The more serotonin you have, the better you are going to feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a great source of protein.

Cold water fish are excellent if you would like to feel happier. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.
