Serotonin

As we saw from the graphs post from a couple of days ago Serotonin appears to be crucial in developing positive feelings like love and happiness and avoiding depression.

But can we add serotonin through our diet? Apparently so.

Foods like salmon, turkey, nuts and seeds as well as pineapple have been shown to boost our levels of the all important chemical.

Cheese also gets a mention but I would avoid dairy foods in excess.

Other ways of boosting serotonin? our old friend exercise which makes sense and sunlight which is easier said than done here in rainy Scotland.

Cheers
