The Best 6 Foods For Better Mental Health

pineapples, bananas, papayasWhat is serotonin? This naturally-produced chemical is believed to contribute to feelings of well-being and happiness. Fluctuating levels of serotonin can have a very negative impact on an individual’s mood, sleep patterns and ability to learn and deal with stressful situations.

While it is possible to take medicine to regulate serotonin deficiencies, you can also help control your levels, and your mood, with healthy diet choices.

For a healthier, more stable mood, be sure to:

Eat Carbs
Many people neglect the significance of carbohydrates and associate them with weight gain. But in reality, carbohydrates are very useful and essential for one’s body. Studies have proven that carbohydrates can make a person feel better.

When one has a fully satisfied stomach, the person automatically feels happy and satisfied. A hungry person is dull for obvious reasons. Carbohydrates, thanks to the presence of serotonin, not only fulfill one’s hunger but also increase the supply of serotonin to the brain and other parts of the body that freshens up one’s mind and makes the person feel healthier and happier.

Eat Fruit
Fruits are not only delicious, but are also full of important nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Many fruits boost of serotonin and other mood-enhancing chemicals. Chemicals, such as melatonin are also present in certain fruits. They help improve sleep, which is often the reason for a person’s sadness or depression.
Plums, pineapple, bananas and sour cherries can directly influence serotonin production.

Eat Meat
Turkey is now very widely used as people have realized its importance. It does not only make for a tasty meal but also is full of healthy vitamins and nutrients. It contains high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into Serotonin once it reaches the brain. Other important meats are beef and wild fish.

An Important Note
In addition to living a healthy lifestyle, in the case of mood/mental health concerns, it is very important to visit a doctor to discuss health-related issues.
