Let’s talk about our diet!
Did you know that you can naturally boost your serotonin, happiness hormones, while eating the certain food? And no, we are not talking about comfort food, sweets, and fast food here, but about the real meals that will give you energy, health, and provide happiness.
Next time you start wondering what to eat, choose these:
- Eggs. For breakfast or for the dinner, eggs are a great choice due to the amount of protein that is capable to boost blood plasma levels of tryptophan. Other useful components would include omega 3 fatty acids, biotine, choline, and tyrosine.
- Cheese. Who doesn’t like cheese? What’s your favorite one? Know that dairy products are great for your mental health, especially cheeses such as parmesan, gouda, cheddar, or cottage cheese. They are rich in amino acids responsible for supporting the production of happy hormones.
3. Salmon. Contains all the elements cheese and eggs do, plus extra vitamin D which is crucial for your mood.
4. Turkey. While all meat contains enough proteins and amino acids to promote both your physical and mental health, know that turkey meat is high in trytophan.
5. Nuts. Okay, we have covered your breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but what about eating in between? You can choose nuts or seeds due to their richness in fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and tryptophan.
