Use Food to Elevate Your Mood
For the most part, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and must be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Other times, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to eat. There are a number of foods that actually can improve your moods when you consume them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are wonderful for helping you battle depression. Just see to it that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are stuffed full of B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for lifting up your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot 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 possible as these foods are rich in magnesium which increases your production of serotonin. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a great protein food source.
Cold water fish are good if you want to feel better. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly boost your mood.
Grains can be good for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly great for helping boost your happiness levels. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, which is a mood improver. Feeling famished can be terrible! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not difficult for your stomach to digest. You digest these grains more quickly than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Your mood can truly be helped by green tea. You knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can basically induce brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you become so much healthier. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to lift your moods also!
So you see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are not good for you just so to feel better! Go with these suggestions instead!
