- Pure chili powder is pretty easy to come by here in Texas. You can easily order it from the internet no matter where you live. I always use a mild and then add desired heat level using Cayenne pepper. You can also just use a brand name chili powder from the grocery store. Works great as well. This chili is always better the next day. Leftovers freeze very well. Enjoy
- Most all chili powder found in grocery stores, are a blend of pure chili powder, paprika, oregano, garlic, cumin, salt, etc. I have found that these will work good as well. You may want to omit the salt and adjust at the very end.

Learn How to Elevate Your Mood with Food

Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually terrific at beating back depression. You should be 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 raise your mood. Eggs, the yolks especially, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for raising your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that dictate your mood. Try eating an egg and jolly up!
Put together several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, in particular, are a fantastic source of protein.
If you would like to beat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you battle your depression.
Grains can be excellent for overcoming a terrible mood. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel happier. They fill you up better and that can help improve your moods too. Feeling famished can actually bring you down! These grains can improve your mood since it’s easy for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is excellent for moods. You were sure green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in a specific amino acid referred to as L-theanine.
