Learn How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Many of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are bad and are to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that, when you consume them, can boost your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly wonderful at fighting back depression. Just see to it that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you elevate your mood. This is because they help in bettering the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Try consuming a few eggs to feel better!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which promotes 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 you have of it, the more pleasant you will feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you wish to beat back depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can really help you overcome your depression.
It’s not difficult to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. Feeling famished can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest and process. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your sugar levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is truly great for your mood. You were sure it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is found to be chock-full of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This helps improve your mental sharpness while relaxing the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not difficult to become healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are aware that it can help improve your mood as well!
See, you don’t need to consume all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
