Ordinary Vegan Podcast #70-How To Increase Serotonin Naturally with Food
Are you looking to increase serotonin and dopamine naturally?
Maybe to fight the winter blues or perhaps to help with more serious mental health issues.
Let”s face it. People are feeling more and more anxious these days. Between the threat of global warming, the coronavirus, and every day news events being stressed and sad it at an all time high.
Feeling sad is part of being human and temporary. Depression is more than ordinary sadness. It can cause anxiety, fatigue, trouble with concentration, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.
Researchers have been studying the link between serotonin and depression for more than five decades. Their conclusion is that having too little of this neurotransmitter can cause or contribute to depression or mental health problems.
In addition, multiple studies now show a major correlation between decreased serotonin and the food we eat.
Today we learn how the two neurotransmitters, serotonin, and dopamine, stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness.
We also learn how these neurotransmitters work in our body and how we can increase serotonin and dopamine by the food we consume.
Not only that, there is an exact serotonin formula that you can use whenever you are feeling sad or depressed.
