Learn How to Improve Your Mood with Food

Mostly, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. At times, if the comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this is true. Other times, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to eat. There are some foods that, when you eat them, can better your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try some of these.

Eggs, you might be astonished to discover, are great at combating depression. Just see to it that you do not throw out the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for raising your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Consume an egg and jolly up!

Make some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be raised by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is possible as these foods have a bunch of magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that tells the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a fantastic protein source.

Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to combat depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3 and DHA. 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 greatly raise your mood.

Grains can be excellent for driving away a bad mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping increase your happiness levels. They help you feel full as well which can truly help to make your mood better. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! These grains can help your mood elevate since it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Green tea is wonderful for moods. You were sure green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies show that this specific amino acid can essentially induce brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while at the same time calming your body.
