我沒有憂鬱,只是血清素低

Dopamine depends on it?

I believe everyone knows that when the human body releases dopamine, it will make people feel happy. In fact, the driving force behind the scenes is to master the serotonin secreted by dopamine. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain and is responsible for regulating the secretion of various hormones in the body. Therefore, the receptors of serotonin will affect various functions of the body and emotions, such as appetite, learning and memory, cognitive function, sleep quality, emotional control and so on.

If the concentration of serotonin is too low, we may experience symptoms of depression , depression, anxiety, irritability, loss, fear, fatigue, etc. It can even lead to chronic pain, memory loss, depression, alcoholism, suicide, assault and violence.

When you're feeling down, it may just be a lack of serotonin in your body. Don't worry, there are a few simple ways to increase serotonin, making it easier to feel happy and happy!

1. Eat more foods rich in tryptophan

The raw material "tryptophan" for the manufacture of serotonin cannot be synthesized by the human body and can only be ingested from food. Tryptophan is mainly found in protein-rich foods, such as soybean products, dairy products, eggs and nuts. However, the tryptophan contained in the animal protein of meat and fish is not easy to pass through the blood vessels in the brain, and eating too much can easily cause cardiovascular disease, so it is better to replace it with plant protein.

2. Eat more foods rich in vitamin B6, carbohydrates and iron

It is not enough to rely solely on "raw materials" to produce serotonin, and other nutrients must be used to convert tryptophan into serotonin.

Vitamins B6 and B12, folic acid, iron and carbohydrates are important helpers for tryptophan to convert serotonin. You can eat more foods such as chocolate, oats, dark green vegetables, oats, nuts, beans, milk, fish, etc.

3. Appropriately supplement health food

For example, fish oil, vitamins B6, B12, folic acid and iron.

4. Get enough sleep

The brain secretes serotonin for the body to use, and the peak of serotonin secretion is at one o'clock at night and two hours after falling asleep.

No wonder eating a balanced diet in daily life coupled with getting enough sleep is the clichéd secret to staying happy and happy.
