Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better
Many of us have been trained to think that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be very nourishing and good for you. Some foods honestly do boost your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to discover, are terrific at combating depression. Just be sure that you do not toss the egg yolk.

Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts.

The more you have of it, the happier you will feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein food source.
If you want to overcome depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids.

Grains can be great for fighting a terrible mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all great for helping you be in a happier state of mind.

These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your glucose levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is really excellent for your mood. You just knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid called L-theanine.
