6. Cut into 7-8cm squares, place 1 teaspoonful Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste) on each square, then fold in half. - *Find how to make Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste) at https://cookpad.com/uk/recipes/1477442-tsubu-an-azuki-red-bean-paste

Foods That Can Make You Happy

For the most part, people have been taught to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and must be avoided. At times, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is very true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are several foods that really can boost your moods when you consume them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually great at beating back depression. You must see to it, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for boosting your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Eat an egg and feel happier!

Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, particularly, are a fantastic protein source.

If you would like to fight depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you battle your depression.

Grains can be great for driving away a terrible mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all good for helping you feel better. They fill you up better and that can help you with your moods too. Feeling starved can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so great for your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest and process. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood sugar which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is fantastic for moods. You just knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is found to be chock-full of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid basically induces brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while at the same loosening up the rest of your body. You knew green tea could help you become better. And now you are aware that it can help you be happier also!

See, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try some of these instead!
