Discover How to Boost Your Mood with Food

Mostly, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and must be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be very nutritious and good for us to consume. A number of foods actually do improve your mood when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional boost, test out some of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly wonderful at dealing with depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. When you wish to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to raise your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Try to eat an egg and feel happier!

Make a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all good for raising your mood. This is possible as these foods have a bunch of magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The higher your serotonin levels, the better you will feel. Nuts, along with elevating your mood, can be a superb source of protein.

If you want to overcome depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3s and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s grey matter. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can really help you battle your depression.

Grains can be excellent for fighting a terrible mood. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. They help you feel full too which can really help to better your mood. Feeling famished can really make you feel awful! These grains can improve your mood because it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your glucose levels which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is actually great for your mood. You just knew it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid called L-theanine. Studies prove that this specific amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while at the same calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you be so much healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood as well!

Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try some of these suggestions instead.
