Use Food to Boost Your Mood
A lot of us think that comfort foods are terrible for us and that we have to keep away from them. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this holds true. At times, comfort foods can be very nutritious and good for us to eat. There are several foods that actually can improve your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional boost, try some of these.
Eggs, you may be astonished to find out, are wonderful at combating depression. Just see to it that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for elevating your mood. This is because the B vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the better you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, in particular, are a terrific source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you would like to be in a better mood. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all chock-full of omega-3s and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight back depression.
Some grains are really great for fighting off bad moods. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all great for helping you feel happier. They help you feel full also which can really help to make your mood better. It’s easy to feel low when you are starving! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard to digest. You digest them faster than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Green tea is fantastic for moods. You just knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You knew that green tea helps you feel a lot healthier. Now you are aware that it can help raise your mood too!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Go with these hints instead!
