Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
Mostly, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be very nutritious and good for you. There are several foods that, when you consume them, may improve your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you fight depression. Just see to it that you do not throw away the yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you elevate your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more of this chemical in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Nuts, on top of raising your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.
It’s easy to fight your bad mood when you consume grains. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all wonderful for helping you be in a happier state of mind. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you are starving! These grains can elevate your mood since it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. You digest these foods quicker than other things which can help promote 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 sure green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is rich in a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This helps improve your mental acuity while calming the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you become healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood as well!
See, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try some of these instead!
