Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood
A lot of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are terrible and are to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to eat. A number of foods actually do elevate your mood when you consume them. If you seem to feel a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at fighting back depression. Just make sure that you do not throw away the egg yolk.

Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all wonderful for elevating your mood.

Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a fantastic protein source.
If you want to battle depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA.

Grains can be great for fighting a terrible mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all excellent for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. Feeling starved can be a real downer!
