Try Using Food to Elevate Your Mood
Most of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are terrible and should be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be very nourishing and good for you. Some foods honestly do elevate your mood when you eat them. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at dealing with depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, particularly the yolks, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Try to eat an egg and feel a lot better!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all good for raising your mood. This is possible because these foods are rich in magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin you have, the better you will feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a great source of protein.
If you want to battle depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. DHA and omega-3s are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously boost your mood.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you consume grains. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. It’s not hard to feel depressed when you feel famished! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest and process. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is chock-full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can basically stimulate brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while at the same calming the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you be better. And now you know it can help improve your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Try a few of these instead!
