Foods That Can Make You Happy
Many of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are not good and should be avoided. Sometimes, if the comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be super nutritious and good for you. There are several foods that actually can boost your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you battle depression. You need to see to it, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you raise your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–work better. Eat an egg and feel a lot better!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all helpful for elevating your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more of it you have, the better you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a fantastic protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to battle depression. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight depression.
Some grains are truly great for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all wonderful for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They help you feel full as well which can really help to improve your mood. Feeling starved can be terrible! 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 glucose levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Your mood could really be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This helps better your mental acuity while relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you become better. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood as well!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these suggestions instead.
