Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better

For the most part, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and need to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be very nourishing and good for you. Several foods really do elevate your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at dealing with depression. Just be sure that you do not throw out the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are high in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be fantastic for elevating your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–work better. Try eating an egg and cheer up!

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin you have, the better you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a great source of protein.

Cold water fish are great for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all rich in omega-3s and DHA. These are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly boost your mood.

Grains can be good for fighting a terrible mood. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are great at helping you feel happier. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods also. It’s not difficult to feel low when you feel hungry! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are easy for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood sugar which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Your mood could truly be helped by green tea. You knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is high in a particular amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid basically stimulates brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you be better. Now you are aware that it helps you to raise your moods also!

Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these instead!
