Instructions to make Mitarashi Dango:

- I divided the dough and colored one part red.

Turn to Food to Improve Your Mood
A lot of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must avoid them. At times, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be very nourishing and good for you. There are several foods that basically can boost your moods when you consume them. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out a few of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you combat depression. Just make sure that you do not toss the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you raise your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–function better. Eat an egg and be happy!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given moment. The higher your serotonin levels, the more pleasant you will feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a terrific source of protein.
If you want to beat depression, try eating some cold water fish. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. DHA and omega-3s are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can really help you fight your depression.
Grains can be good for fighting a terrible mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are fantastic at helping you feel better. They help you feel full too which can actually help to make your mood better. Feeling starved can truly make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard to digest. You digest them more quickly than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Your mood can really be helped by green tea. You were simply expecting to read that, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be chock-full of an amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to get healthy when you consume green tea. And now you know it can help you be happier too!
As you can see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Test out these suggestions instead!
