The following tips will help you boost your serotonin levels naturally:
-
Consume foods such as eggs, turkey, chicken, dairy, and nuts.
-
Performing 30-40 minutes of exercise every day can also boost your mood and serotonin levels.
-
Consuming a brain-healthy diet such as foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can also trigger serotonin production. Since 90% of your body’s serotonin is produced in your gut it would be advisable to consume healthy probiotics that boost gut bacteria.
-
Consume complex carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes and whole grains instead of simple carbohydrates. These enhance tryptophan production and thus serotonin.
-
Vitamins supplements such as those of B6 and folate are also shown to improve serotonin.
-
