Learn How to Improve Your Mood with Food
Most of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are terrible and should be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be extremely nutritious and good for you. Some foods really do raise your mood when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, test out some of these.
Eggs, you might be surprised to discover, are terrific at battling depression. Just make sure that you do not toss the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to boost your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–run better. Try consuming a few eggs to jolly up!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for elevating your mood. This is possible because these foods are rich in magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more you have of it, the happier you will feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a great source of protein.
If you would like to overcome depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously raise your mood.
It’s not hard to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually great for helping raise your happiness levels. They can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. It’s not hard to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is high in a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can actually induce brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You likely already knew how easy it is to be healthy when you drink green tea. And now you know it can help raise your mood too!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these hints instead.
