How to Elevate Your Mood with Food

A lot of us think that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we should avoid them. Often, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to eat them. There are several foods that, when you eat them, could improve your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you combat depression. Just make sure that you do not throw away the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for elevating your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–run better. Eat an egg and feel better!

Put together a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all fantastic for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible because these foods have a bunch of magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more you have of it, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, in addition to bettering your mood, can be a super protein source.

If you want to battle depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can greatly boost your mood.

It’s not hard to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all good for helping you feel happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer as well, helping you feel better. Feeling famished can truly bring you down! These grains can help your mood elevate as it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You were simply waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a certain amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This helps raise your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you feel so much healthier. Now you know that green tea helps you to elevate your moods too!

So you see, you don’t need to consume all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try some of these suggestions instead.
