Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood
A lot of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must stay away from them. At times, if the comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this holds true. At times, comfort foods can be utterly nourishing and good for us to eat. A number of foods actually do boost your mood when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to find out, are terrific at combating depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to raise your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try eating an egg and jolly up!
Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all great for raising your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Nuts, in addition to improving your mood, can be a great source of protein.
If you would like to defeat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. 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 back depression.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel happier. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. Feeling starved can really bring you down! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while at the same relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you feel healthier. Now you are well aware that it helps you to lift your moods too!
See, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
