Turn to Food to Elevate Your Mood
Many of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we should avoid them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true.

If you seem to be a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, you might be astonished to find out, are great at fighting depression. Just make sure that you don’t toss out the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you improve your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Consume an egg and be happy!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all terrific for helping to boost your mood.

The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein source.
Cold water fish are great if you want to be in a better mood. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you fight your depression.
Grains can be excellent for fighting a bad mood. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all great for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. It’s easy to feel a little bit off when you feel famished! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not difficult for your body to digest. You digest these grains more quickly than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
