Most of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we ought to keep away from them. Often, if the comfort food is a high sugar food or another junk food, this is very true. Soemtimes, comfort foods can be very nutritious and good for us to consume. There are some foods that, when you eat them, may improve your mood. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, test out some of these.
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all great for helping to raise your mood. This is possible because these foods are rich in magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that tells the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more serotonin you have, the better you are going to feel. Nuts, on top of raising your mood, can be a super protein source.
So you see, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you wish to feel better! Go with these suggestions instead!
