Information on How to Boost Your Mood with Food
For the most part, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and need to be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be really healthy and good for you. Several foods really do boost your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you fight depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, especially the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you improve your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Consume an egg and jolly up!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible as these foods are high in magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you wish to feel happier. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.
It’s easy to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are fantastic at helping you have a happier mood. They help you feel full too which can really help to improve your mood. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. You digest them faster than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Your mood could really be helped by green tea. You knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is high in a particular amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while relaxing the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you feel so much healthier. And now you are aware that it can help improve your mood too!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try some of these suggestions instead.
