How to Improve Your Mood with Food
Many of us have been conditioned to believe that comfort foods are bad and to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nourishing and good for us to eat. There are some foods that, when you eat them, could better your mood. When you feel a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, test out a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you combat depression. Just see to it that you do not throw out the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you raise your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat an egg and feel better!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more of this chemical in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein food source.
If you would like to defeat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously boost your mood.
Some grains are truly great for driving away bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all excellent for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They help you feel full as well which can actually help to better your mood. Feeling famished can actually make you feel terrible! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is truly great for your mood. You were sure green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is chock-full of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid basically induces brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you become better. Now you know green tea can help you be happier also!
Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Test out these suggestions instead!
