Turn That Frown Upside Down With These 7 Natural Mood-Boosting Foods

Better Body’s Guide For Better Mental Health

Your mental state is is as important as your physical state, especially during menopause!

The drop in estrogen affects us in more ways than one.

Estrogen tends to have an uplifting effect on our mood, and when the levels start to drop, it can have a major impact on your mental & emotional state.

Suddenly, your ‘usual self’ disappears and it feels like you’ve reverted into an angsty, emotional teenager. This can negatively affect your relationships — especially with the ones you love the most, like your family and friends.

To help you manage those mental changes, we’ve decided to share with you gals our 3-week Challenge for Better Mental Health!

This week, we will be sharing 7 Mood-Boosting Foods You Need To Try.

Well, you know how the saying goes: You are what you eat.

So if you fill up on these mood-boosting foods, you’ll be in a better mood half of the time!

Now that’s something that’s going to come in handy, especially with all the mood swings menopause has to offer.

Edamame Beans

These delicious green beans contain high levels of tryptophan, the building block for serotonin. It also contains ‘dietary estrogens’, or phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens can help boost estrogen levels, preventing hormone-based mood swings during menopause.,

How to eat: Edamame beans are great added to a salad, or as a snack to fight off hunger.

Seaweed

This jewel of the sea is loaded with iodine, a nutrient that is important for our hormonal health and thyroid function. Iodine helps make sure your thyroid works properly, kick-starting energy levels and helping you maintain that sunny disposition those around you might like restored.

It’s also a natural source of brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids and an excellent source of folic acid, a key nutrient needed to make serotonin — the “happy” chemical. Seaweed also contains dietary magnesium, which helps reduces stress.

How to eat: Wrap it around rice like sushi, or rehydrate it in cold water and add it to smoothies, stocks, soups and salads.

Leafy Greens

Big, leafy greens like kale, broccoli and spinach are a good source of folate and B vitamins. Not having enough of certain B vitamins have been linked to depression, as serotonin production may be obstructed by low B vitamin levels.

The important B’s are folate, vitamins B3, B6 and B12, so eating these leafy greens should keep your B levels up.

How to eat: Mix it into salads, blend it into soup, or grill it for a smoky charred taste.

Brazil Nuts

These crunchy, delicious nuts are one of the best sources of the mineral selenium which also supports our thyroid function.

Selenium also plays a key role in maintaining a healthy immune & nervous system, and helps keep our skin looking young too. Just three Brazil nuts a day should give you your RDA of selenium.

How to eat: Great on their own as a mid-morning snack, with a banana, or chopped up and sprinkled in salads or stir-fries.

 

Dark Chocolate

Yes, there is a valid reason why chocolate makes you feel better.

A couple of small squares of dark chocolate causes your brain to release endorphins and boost your serotonin levels. However, make sure not to finish the whole bar in one sitting.

How to eat: Try choosing a dark chocolate with 70% cocoa or more, and gently let it melt in your tongue.

Flaxseed

This superfood contains a variety of phytoestrogens as well as a good amount of fiber to help with digestion.

It’s probably one of the easiest foods to incorporate into your diet. To enjoy the most benefits, it’s best to buy it milled or in seed form to get the most nutrients (or buy whole seeds and crush them in a pestle and mortar, or coffee grinder).

How to eat: Add it to smoothies, breakfast cereal, porridge, sprinkled on salads or added to fruit crumble toppings.


Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA)

Essential Fatty Acids are a nutritional must for our brain health and overall mental well-being.

Most of the benefits of filling up on EFA are for the anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation plays a role in brain fog, memory loss, anxiety and depression. EFAs help manage those symptoms by contributing to new brain cell formation and reducing brain inflammation.

How to eat: Try adding more oily fish, avocados, nuts, seeds and olive oil into your diet.
