Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and plays an important role in our welfare. Serotonin helps us feel happier, to relax, sleep better, have sexual desire and maintain body temperature. Boy, this neurotransmitter is important, right?

There are certain symptoms that indicate low serotonin, fatigue, lack of libido, “need” almost compulsive consumption of carbohydrates, headache, constipation, insomnia, fluid retention and swelling of abdomen.

Probably many of you feel identified with these symptoms much more common in women, but also present in men. Serotonin maintains a proper balance with other neurotransmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine. These relate to the fear, anguish, anxiety, eating disorders, sleep disorders and violence.

This neurotransmitter is “fed” by tryptophan; it can be achieved with medication or food. Serotonin is controlled by the body, usually falls in the afternoon and is high in the morning and much more if it takes more than two hours after getting up at breakfast; this causes a drop in serotonin importante.Es why it advised not to spend more than 60 minutes.

As I said earlier, to make serotonin, tryptophan, and this need can be found in certain foods and eat them in abundance could prevent people feel sad, depressed mood or compulsive eating.

There are many amino worse there are some that are indispensable, and among that list is the tryptophan. For foulbrood if the body could not produce we consume in our diet. We find in fish, in turkey, chicken, milk, eggs, tofu, soybeans, walnuts, peanuts and cheese.

But also in carbohydrates due to different causes such as stress, hormonal changes (especially estrogens) or blood sugar causes an imbalance in serotonin levels.

For tryptophan, essential amino acid, is transformed into serotonin, need for vitamin B6. This may be found in wheat germ, brains, blue fish, cheeses, nuts, whole grains, legumes and brewer’s yeast. The lack or deficiency of this vitamin may cause irritability, nervousness, fatigue and even depression.
