Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
Most of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we should keep away from them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be completely nourishing and it’s good for you to eat them. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can better your mood. If you feel a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you battle depression. You need to make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you boost your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that affect your mood. Consume an egg and feel a lot happier!
Make a trail mixfrom a variety of seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all great for improving your mood. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which boosts serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a great source of protein.
If you would like to battle depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all high in omega-3s and DHA. 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: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly raise your mood.
It’s not difficult to overcome your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly wonderful for helping increase your happiness levels. They help you feel full also which can truly help to make your mood better. Feeling famished can be awful! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your sugar levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You were sure green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps better your mental acuity while relaxing the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you be so much healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood as well!
Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Test out these tips instead!
