Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
In general, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and should be avoided. At times, if the comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that, when you eat them, could boost your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, test out a few of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you battle depression. Just make sure that you do not throw out the egg yolk. Every time you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolk particularly, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are wonderful for helping to raise 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 happier!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The more of this chemical in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are good if you would like to be in a better mood. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3 fats and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly raise your mood.
It’s easy to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. They fill you up better and that can help you with your moods too. Feeling hungry can be awful! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood glucose which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You were just waiting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can actually stimulate brain waves. This helps raise your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be better. Now you know that applies to your mood as well!
As you can see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Try a few of these suggestions instead.
