The Good Mood Diet

Try raising your mood-lifting serotonin levels a couple of times a day by doing the following

-include protein in each of your three meals. this will raise blood levels of tryptophan , a chemical that eventually turns into serotonin. The best sources of tryptophan are poultry, seafood, and lean meat.


Also Have a small carbohydrate snack about 3 or 4 hours after each meal and about 1 hour before your next one. Make sure that your stomach is empty and that you eat no protein between meals. The carbohydrates should be easily digestible- such as one or two oatmeal cookies, or a piece of whole wheat bread. This will cause tryptophan in your blood to enter the brain,where is is metabolized into serotonin. Elevated serotonin will improve your mood within 20 - 30 minutes.

If you follow the rules, you will also fall asleep more quickly at night, because at the end of the day, your brain metabolizes serotonin into the natural sleep aid melatonin.

From happy to sleepy, all by way of a cookie. It doesn't get much cheerier than that.
