Learn How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Most of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are bad and should be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be really nourishing and good for you. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can boost your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at fighting back depression. You must see to it, though, that what you make includes the yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks particularly, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for raising your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that control your mood. Eat a couple of eggs to feel better!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that directs your brain how you feel all the time. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Nuts, along with raising your mood, can be a super source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you are wanting to be in a better mood. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.
Grains can be great for overcoming a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually great for helping boost your happiness levels. They fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. It’s not difficult to feel low when you are starving! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard 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 takes your mood to a happier place.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid actually stimulates brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood also!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these instead!
