How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Many of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are bad and should be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this is true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to consume. There are a number of foods that actually can raise your moods 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, would you believe, are fantastic for helping you battle depression. Just be sure that you do not throw away the egg yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat a few eggs to feel better!
Make several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The more serotonin you have, the better you will feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you want to combat depression. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3s and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly boost your mood.
It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you eat grains. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are fantastic at helping you have a happier mood. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. Feeling starved can actually make you feel awful! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are easy to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You were simply expecting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you feel better. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are not good for you just so to feel better! Try some of these tips instead.
