Enhance serotonin level

Eating serotonin rich food increases serotonin production. Tryptophan is an amino acid that

converts into serotonin. Foods that are rich sources of tryptophan are turkey, chicken, salmon,

eggs, nuts, seeds, and cheese. Eating tryptophan rich food with carbohydrates increase absorption of tryptophan in the brain. Sunlight exposure for 10-30 minutes daily in the morning can stimulate serotonin production, circadian rhythms, and boost the mood.

Walking, running, and swimming are exercises that reduce the level of stress and increase

serotonin levels. Meditation will reduce the level of stress as well. Nature connection and spending time in nature, laughter and positive social interactions, social bonding, quality of sleep, avoiding excessive alcohol and caffeine intake can increase the level of serotonin.

However, taking supplements such as tryptophan should be recommended under a healthcare

professional. Vitamin B-Complexes, especially B6 and B12 can regulate the serotonin

production.

Following a healthy diet and lifestyle will improve the brain and overall mental well-being and

prevent depression, anxiety, and neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s.
