How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
For the most part, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be very healthy and good for you. Some foods really do boost your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you battle depression. You must make sure, however, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, specifically the yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you elevate your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–run better. Try to eat an egg and feel better!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The higher your levels of serotonin, the better you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you want to battle 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 improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can really help you overcome your depression.
Some grains are actually excellent for driving away bad moods. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all good for helping you be in a happier state of mind. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. Feeling hungry can really make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is really good for your mood. You were just anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you feel healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood as well!
Now you know 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 suggestions instead.
