Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
Most of us think that comfort foods are not good for us and that we need to avoid them. At times, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this is true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be totally nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. There are a number of foods that really can boost your moods when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you battle depression. Just be sure that you don’t toss out the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you improve your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try eating an egg and jolly up!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is possible as these foods are high in magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more of this chemical in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a superb protein source.
Cold water fish are excellent if you are wanting to feel better. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight back depression.
Grains can be excellent for overcoming a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping raise your happiness levels. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. It’s easy to feel depressed when you feel hungry! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are easy to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You were just anticipating to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a specific amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has proven that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while at the same time relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew how easy it is to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are aware that it can help raise your mood too!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these instead!
