Use Food to Elevate Your Mood
For the most part, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be very nutritious and good for you. Several foods actually do boost 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, you may be amazed to find out, are great at combating depression. Just see to it that you do not toss the egg yolk. Whenever you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, particularly the yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you improve your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Consume an egg and feel better!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Nuts, in addition to improving your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you want to be in a better mood. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously raise your mood.
It’s not hard to fight your bad mood when you eat grains. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all great for helping you feel happier. They can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. Feeling famished can be awful! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood sugar which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you feel healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood also!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these instead!
