Turn to Food to Improve Your Mood

In general, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and must be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this holds true. Other times, comfort foods can be perfectly healthy and good for us to eat. A number of foods really do boost your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you combat depression. Just see to it that you don’t toss out the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you raise your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Eat some eggs to jolly up!

Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is because seeds and nuts have a lot of magnesium which increases your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Nuts, in addition to improving your mood, can be a super source of protein.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you are wanting to fight depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. DHA and omega-3s are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain run a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can actually help you overcome depression.

It’s not hard to overcome your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all great for helping you be in a happier state of mind. These grains can help you feel full for longer too, which can help your mood too. Feeling famished can be a real downer! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your glucose levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Your mood could truly be helped by green tea. You knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is rich in an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps raise your mental acuity while relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you become a lot healthier. And now you know green tea can help you be happier also!

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