Are there any foods that can improve my mood when I'm feeling depressed?

Tryptophan-rich foods produce serotonin (the happy hormone). Bananas, milk, turkey, and nuts are good. On the other hand, sweet foods packed with sugar temporarily lift your mood but soon cause a sharp drop (Sugar Crash) and worsen feelings of depression.

우리 몸의 행복 호르몬 95%는 장(Gut)에서 만들어집니다.

  • 오메가-3: 등푸른 생선이나 호두는 뇌 세포막을 유연하게 만들어 우울증 예방에 도움을 줍니다.
  • 매운맛: 캡사이신 성분이 엔돌핀 분비를 촉진하지만, 과하면 위장에 무리가 갈 수 있으니 적당량 섭취하시기 바랍니다.
