Learn How to Boost Your Mood with Food
Many of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are terrible and to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be extremely nourishing and good for you. There are some foods that actually can raise your moods when you eat them. If you seem to feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.
Eggs, you might be surprised to learn, are wonderful at combating depression. You should make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. Every time you would like to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be fantastic for raising your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Eat an egg and jolly up!
Put together a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all great for improving your mood. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that tells your brain how you feel all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Not just that but nuts, specifically, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you wish to fight depression. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can greatly raise your mood.
Some grains are truly wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all great for helping you feel better. They can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. Feeling hungry can be terrible! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are easy to digest. You digest them faster than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You were simply expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while at the same calming the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood also!
