Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood
Mostly, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and must be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to consume. Some foods really do boost your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you fight depression. You should make sure, however, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat some eggs to feel better!
Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Not only that but nuts, specifically, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are excellent if you want to feel better. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you overcome your depression.
Some grains are really wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all excellent for helping you feel better. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. It’s not difficult to feel low when you feel famished! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. You digest them more quickly than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You were just expecting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while at the same relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you become healthier. Now you know it can help raise your mood as well!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are terrible for you just so to feel better! Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
