- Gather your large flour tortillas and place each on a sheet of cling wrap.

Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Mostly, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be super nutritious and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can better your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really terrific at dealing with depression. Just be sure that you do not toss the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, specifically the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you improve your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–work better. Try to eat an egg and feel a lot happier!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel all the time. The more of it you have, the better you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein source.
If you wish to fight depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all loaded with omega-3 and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight back depression.
Some grains are truly wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all good for helping you feel happier. They help you feel full as well which can really help to better your mood. It’s not hard to feel depressed when you are starving! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood sugar which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You were simply expecting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is high in a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can actually stimulate brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood as well!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you so you can feel better! Test out these suggestions instead!
