Use Food to Improve Your Mood
A lot of us think that comfort foods are not good for us and that we need to avoid them. Often, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be really nourishing and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you consume them, may boost your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to discover, are great at battling depression. Just be sure that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that dictate your mood. Try eating some eggs to jolly up!
Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all great for raising your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more serotonin you have, the happier you are going to feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a superb source of protein.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to battle depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3 and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.
Some grains are truly excellent for fighting off bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all good for helping you be in a happier state of mind. They fill you up better and that can help you with your moods too. Feeling famished can be awful! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy to digest. You digest these grains quicker than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. 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 discovered that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This will improve your brain’s focus while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you feel better. And now you are aware that green tea can help improve your mood also!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try a few of these instead!
