Use Food to Boost Your Mood

Mostly, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. Some foods really do raise your mood when you eat them. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out a couple of these.

Eggs, you may be amazed to find out, are wonderful at battling depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. Every time you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you boost your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat a few eggs to jolly up!

Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is possible as these foods are high in magnesium which raises your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin you have, the happier you will feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a great protein source.

Cold water fish are good if you want to feel happier. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all high in omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can really help you fight your depression.

Some grains are really great for repelling bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping raise your happiness levels. They help you feel full too which can really help to improve your mood. Feeling starved can be awful! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. You digest these foods quicker than other foods which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.

Green tea is truly great for your mood. You were just anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can basically stimulate brain waves. This helps raise your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you be better. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods too!

You can see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are not good for you so you can feel better! Go with these hints instead!
