Foods That Can Make You Happy
A lot of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are bad and must be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is very true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. There are some foods that actually can improve your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to discover, are great at battling depression. Just make sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you raise your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Eat an egg and feel a lot better!
Put together a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein food source.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you wish to combat depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.
Grains can be great for fighting a bad mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping raise your happiness levels. They can help you feel full for longer too, helping you feel better. It’s not difficult to feel depressed when you feel hungry! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your sugar levels which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is truly excellent for your mood. You just knew it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can basically induce brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to become healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are aware that it can help raise your mood as well!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try these tips instead!
