Discover How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
A lot of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we have to stay away from them. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be completely nourishing and it’s good for you to eat them. Some foods honestly do improve your mood when you consume them. When you feel a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, try a few of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you fight depression. Just see to it that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are wonderful for helping to raise your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Try eating some eggs to cheer up!
Make some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to boost your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given moment. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you would like to feel happier. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3s and DHA. These are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.
Grains can be excellent for driving away a bad mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all great for helping you feel better. These grains fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods also. Feeling famished can truly make you feel terrible! These grains can improve your mood as it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. You digest them faster than other foods which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You were sure it had to be mentioned 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 stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood too!
So you see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are not good for you so you can feel better! Try these tips instead!
