When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really wonderful at fighting back depression. You should see to it, though, that what you make includes the yolk. Every time you wish to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you elevate your mood. This is because these vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel).

Put together several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all good for raising your mood. This is because these nuts are loaded with magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a terrific source of protein.
Cold water fish are excellent if you wish to feel happier. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. DHA and omega-3s are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you battle your depression.
Some grains are really wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you feel happier. They help you feel full too which can really help to better your mood. It’s easy to feel low when you feel hungry! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s easy for your body to digest them.
