Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood
A lot of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are terrible and are to be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really nourishing and good for you. Some foods actually do elevate your mood when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

The yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are stuffed full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are wonderful for helping to improve your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot happier!

The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Not just that but nuts, specifically, are a fantastic source of protein.
