Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood
In general, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is candy or another junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be extremely healthy 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 in need of an emotional boost, test out some of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you combat depression. Just be sure that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be fantastic for elevating your mood. This is because these vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat an egg and jolly up!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all helpful for elevating your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you are wanting to beat back depression. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.
Some grains are really great for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually wonderful for helping raise your happiness levels. They help you feel full too which can truly help to make your mood better. Feeling starved can be awful! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Green tea is really excellent for your mood. You were simply waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental acuity while calming the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not difficult to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know green tea can help improve your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Try these tips instead!
