Foods That Make You Happy
Many of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must stay away from them. Often, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is very true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nourishing and good for you. There are some foods that really can improve your moods when you consume them. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at fighting back depression. Just make sure that you do not throw out the yolk. The egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can genuinely help you elevate your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try consuming a couple of eggs to feel better!
Make a trail mixout of different seeds and nuts. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is possible as these foods are high in magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given time. The more of it you have, the happier you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a fantastic source of protein.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you are wanting to beat back depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you battle your depression.
Some grains are really wonderful for repelling bad moods. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are fantastic at helping you feel better. They help you feel full as well which can truly help to better your mood. It’s not difficult to feel depressed when you are starving! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not hard to digest. You digest these foods quicker than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Green tea is really excellent for your mood. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to become healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods too!
