Turn to Food to Improve Your Mood
Mostly, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and need to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be totally nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. There are some foods that, when you eat them, could improve your mood. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, try a few of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are great for helping you combat depression. You need to make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you improve your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–function better. Try eating an egg and jolly up!
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all good for elevating your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given time. The more of it you have, the better you are going to feel. Not just that, nuts, in particular, are a fantastic protein food source.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you want to beat back depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly raise your mood.
Grains can be good for driving away a terrible mood. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all great for helping you feel better. They fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. It’s not difficult to feel a little bit off when you feel famished! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is actually great for your mood. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is found to be rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can basically induce brain waves. This helps improve your mental sharpness while relaxing the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you feel better. And now you are aware that it can help raise your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you so you can feel better! Try a couple of of these tips instead.
