Use Food to Boost Your Mood
Many of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must keep away from them. Often, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to eat them. There are a number of foods that actually can raise your moods when you consume them. If you seem to feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you battle depression. Just see to it that you do not throw away the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk especially, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try eating a few eggs to jolly up!
Make some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all helpful for improving your mood. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin production. 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 you have, the better you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a fantastic protein source.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you want to battle depression. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. DHA and omega-3s are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you fight your depression.
Some grains are really great for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping boost your happiness levels. These grains can help you feel full for longer as well, helping you feel better. Feeling starved can really bring you down! These grains can elevate your mood since it’s easy for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your sugar levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is truly excellent for your mood. You were sure it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you feel a lot healthier. Now you are aware that green tea helps you to raise your moods too!
