Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood
A lot of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are not good and to be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that basically can improve your moods when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, you might be astonished to learn, are terrific at battling depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks particularly, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to improve your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat some eggs to jolly up!
Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is possible since these foods are rich in magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given moment. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Nuts, on top of raising your mood, can be a great source of protein.
If you wish to overcome depression, try eating some cold water fish. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.
It’s not difficult to drive away your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you feel better. They help you feel full too which can actually help to improve your mood. Feeling hungry can truly bring you down! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. You digest them more quickly than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Your mood can truly be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you feel a lot healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood also!
So you see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try these tips instead!
