Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood
Most of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we should stay away from them. Often, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this is true. Other times, comfort foods can be perfectly nourishing and good for us to eat. There are several foods that, when you consume them, could boost your mood. If you feel a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are terrific for helping you battle depression. Just make sure that you don’t toss out the yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be great for boosting your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Try consuming some eggs to jolly up!
Put together several trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that directs your brain how you feel all the time. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, in particular, are a great protein food source.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you wish to fight depression. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly elevate your mood.
It’s not difficult to drive away your bad mood when you consume grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are excellent at helping you feel happier. They can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. Feeling famished can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
