Discover How to Improve Your Mood with Food
Most of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this is true. At times, comfort foods can be very healthy and good for us to consume. Several foods honestly do elevate your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are wonderful for helping you battle depression. Just be sure that you do not toss the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk particularly, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for boosting your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try consuming a couple of eggs to feel better!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all good for improving your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given time. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Nuts, along with raising your mood, can be a super source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you would like to feel happier. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3s and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can really help you overcome depression.
Grains can be good for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really excellent for helping boost your happiness levels. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods also. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood sugar which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You were sure green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while at the same calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood also!
You can see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are not good for you just so to feel better! Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
