Let’s Discover Recipes To Be Happy & Stay Healthy
Let’s face it, gloomy weather, lockdowns and being stressed definitely do not help to be in a good mood. But we at Living Vino want to help and this short blog article is here for you to outline how you can raise your serotonin and dopamine levels, get more tryptophan in your diet, all just to naturally boost your happiness!
The main piece of advice is simply spend time in nature. When the sun is shining it helps. Visit our garden!
There is a link between serotonin and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People can be affected by SAD during the winter months when there is less daylight. It can cause low mood, lack of energy, and disrupted sleep.
Next in line is exercise, no surprise here! Check where is your local gym now, go for a run or at least go for a brisk walk, aim for circa 10k steps.
Meditation and gratitude practice are awesome too. If you do not know how to meditate, we’ve got an excellent suggestion for you – visit Ahimsa Meditation to learn, it’s free and it would be the greatest investment you’d do. Trust us on that!
Diet is another important thing. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that can affect mood. Eating foods that contain the essential amino acid known as tryptophan can help the body to produce more serotonin.
Tryptophan is an amino acid that is important for the production of serotonin in the body. It is also key to brain function and has a role in healthy sleep. People cannot make tryptophan in their bodies, so must obtain it from their diet.
Dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, are a source of tryptophan. So are seeds. Products containing soy, such as tofu, soya milk, or soy sauce, are a source of tryptophan.

Chickpeas are apparently also amazing! Research study, done by Kerem and colleagues found that chickpeas contain a lot of tryptophan that is bio-available for us.
Omega-3 fatty acids boost serotonin levels too. Many studies have shown that omega-3s help reduce depressive symptoms.
Starchy foods also help. Having some tryptophan in your diet is important. If you don’t have enough, your serotonin levels will drop. If you need more tryptophan, you can get it by eating starchy foods like whole wheat bread, potatoes, and corn. Pineapples have been shown for decades to contain serotonin.
You need to eat a high-fiber diet to fuel healthy gut bacteria, which research shows play a role in serotonin levels through the gut-brain axis.
