Foods That Make You Happy
A lot of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must avoid them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. There are several foods that, when you consume them, may better your mood. When you are feeling a little down and are in need of an emotional pick-me-up, test out a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are wonderful for helping you combat depression. Just see to it that you do not throw out the egg yolk. When you want to cheer yourself up, the yolk is the most essential part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be fantastic for boosting your mood. This is because these vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–function better. Try consuming a couple of eggs to cheer up!
Put together a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have lots of magnesium which boosts your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a fantastic protein food source.
Cold water fish are excellent if you wish to be in a better mood. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all rich in omega-3 fats and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously boost your mood.
It’s easy to fight your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly wonderful for helping boost your happiness levels. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods too. Feeling famished can actually make you feel terrible! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy to digest. You digest these grains faster than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Green tea is really excellent for your mood. You were simply waiting to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is packed full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid actually stimulates brain waves. This helps raise your mental focus while relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be a lot healthier. And now you know it can help raise your mood too!
As you can see, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try a couple of of these hints instead.
