Foods That Make You Happy

Most of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are terrible and to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this can be true. At times, comfort foods can be very nourishing and good for us to eat. There are some foods that actually can raise your moods when you eat them. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out some of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you fight depression. You must make sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for elevating your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try consuming a couple of eggs to feel better!

Make some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible because these foods are high in magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more you have of it, the better you will feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a fantastic source of protein.

Cold water fish are excellent if you are wanting to be in a better mood. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.

Some grains are truly excellent for repelling bad moods. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are fantastic at helping you have a happier mood. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods too. Feeling starved can truly bring you down! These grains can elevate your mood because it’s easy for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You just knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood as well!

So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you to feel better! Try some of these hints instead.
