Foods That Can Make You Happy

Most of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. There are some foods that really can improve your moods when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try some of these.

Eggs, you might be astonished to find out, are terrific at battling depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for elevating your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–run better. Try eating some eggs to cheer up!

Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for improving your mood. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to boost your production of serotonin. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the happier you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a terrific source of protein.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you wish to battle depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all loaded with omega-3s and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you fight depression.

Some grains are really great for driving away bad moods. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping boost your happiness levels. These foods can help you feel full for longer also, helping you feel better. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. You digest these foods faster than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.

Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid actually induces brain waves. This will improve your brain’s concentration while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know green tea can help you be happier as well!

Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Go with these suggestions instead!
