Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood

In general, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and must be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that, when you eat them, could better your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, you may be astonished to find out, are great at combating depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you raise your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try eating some eggs to jolly up!

Put together a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to raise your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that directs your brain how you feel at all times. The more of it you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, particularly, are a great source of protein.

If you wish to beat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all loaded with omega-3 and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you battle your depression.

It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping increase your happiness levels. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods as well. Feeling starved can be awful! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest and process. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.

Green tea is truly great for your mood. You were just expecting to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you be healthier. And now you are aware that it can help you be happier too!

So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are not good for you to feel better! Try several of these instead!
