Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood

Many of us have been trained to think that comfort foods are bad and must be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this is very true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to consume. Several foods honestly do improve your mood when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are wonderful for helping you fight depression. You should make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks particularly, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you elevate your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Eat a few eggs to cheer up!

Make a trail mixfrom various seeds and nuts. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and so on. This is possible since these foods are rich in magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given time. The more you have of it, the more pleasant you will feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a great protein source.

Cold water fish are wonderful for eating if you want to beat back depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all loaded with omega-3s and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you battle your depression.

Some grains are truly great for driving away bad moods. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are fantastic at helping you feel better. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods also. It’s not hard to feel depressed when you feel famished! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. You digest these grains more quickly than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.

Your mood could really be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this specific amino acid can actually stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You already knew green tea could help you become healthier. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to elevate your moods also!

Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try a few of these hints instead.
