Foods That Can Make You Happy

For the most part, people have been taught to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and must be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that, when you consume them, may improve your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, test out a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you fight depression. You need to see to it, though, that what you make includes the yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you raise your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–run better. Try consuming a couple of eggs to jolly up!

Make a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a terrific source of protein.

Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you want to fight depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can really help you overcome depression.

Some grains are truly wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually great for helping increase your happiness levels. They help you feel full as well which can really help to improve your mood. Feeling famished can really make you feel awful! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. You digest these foods more quickly than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Your mood can truly be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is high in a specific amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proven that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while also loosening up the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that it helps you to elevate your moods too!

See, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Test out these tips instead!
