Foods That Can Make You Happy
Mostly, people have been taught to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and have to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to eat them. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, could boost your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out a couple of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to discover, are terrific at battling depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be terrific for lifting up your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–work better. Eat a few eggs to jolly up!
Make a trail mixfrom a variety of seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all great for raising your mood. This is because these nuts are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Nuts, in addition to elevating your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you wish to battle depression. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.
Grains can be excellent for overcoming a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly excellent for helping raise your happiness levels. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. It’s not difficult to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not difficult for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is fantastic for moods. You were simply anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is high in a certain amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be healthier. And now you are aware that it can help you be happier as well!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try some of these tips instead.
