Serotonin, which is called the hormone of happiness, is produced from the amino acid tryptophan which comes into our body with food. For instance, its a lot of meat or bananas.
Serotonin even if sufficient quantities of tryptophan can not be formed, if not necessary substances for the passage of the enzymatic conversion. These are vitamins B6, B9, C and zinc. They are called cofactors. They are like a key, which opens the door to the room transformations.
What else contributes to the production of serotonin:
- physical activity, regular and varied (In this respect a lot of accurate information);
- light - bright lightsAnd it shall be a sufficient number throughout the day. This, of course, and the sunlight, but may be artificial, but bright enough.
Previously, when a large number of people engaged in the work "on the ground", they spent a lot of time on the street and the light in their lives was enough. Now, in addition to changing natural phenomena - and so could people spend much time indoors, and under the sun's rays reach the minimum amount of time. And the brightness in the room may not be sufficient.
This does not mean that 24 hours should be carried out under the bright lights. As the day changes the night, and the darkness must be the place to be during the day to produce the following compound from tryptophan - the hormone melatonin. And this process, light is contraindicated.
- Omega-3 acid. They reduce the level of pro-inflammatory substances prostaglandins, which prevent the release of serotonin from the places of its synthesis.
Good mood - this is an important factor in human health. It was carried out a meta-analysis (meta-analysis - is united from a variety of clinical trials information on which to base conclusions. These results have a high level of evidence), including 45 clinical trials, the results of which became evident that hostility is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and all-cause mortality. People with high levels of serotonin are not prone to hostility. Quite the contrary.
A plurality of drugs, which belong to the class of antidepressants, operate on the principle of maintaining the concentration of serotonin at a certain high level. It's just the mention of the possibility of exposure to serotonin with the help of medicines. Delve into it, we will not. Who wants to know more can read about it in an article link
Remember that if you do not deal with their emotions by conventional means, please contact the staff. The issue can be solved by simple means, and may require more effort on your part and on the part of the doctor. Sometimes behind the external simplicity of the situation, lie complex multifactorial mechanisms that require deep knowledge of the physiology and pathophysiology of the human body.
