Use Food to Improve Your Mood

Mostly, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and should be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be very nourishing and good for you. There are several foods that basically can raise your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional boost, try a couple of these.

Eggs, you may be astonished to find out, are terrific at combating depression. Just make sure that you do not throw away the yolk. The yolk is the most important part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are loaded with B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you elevate your mood. This is because these vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Try eating an egg and jolly up!

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given time. The more you have of it, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, in addition to bettering your mood, can be a super source of protein.

Cold water fish are good if you want to feel happier. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3s. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.

It’s easy to drive away your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all good for helping you feel better. They fill you up better and that can help improve your moods as well. Feeling starved can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are easy for your body to digest and process. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your sugar levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is truly good for your mood. You just knew it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You already 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!

As you can see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you wish to feel better! Try some of these instead!
