How do you increase serotonin levels?
And what certain foods should you eat to increase it?
Well, there are carbs. Eat carbs, serotonin jumps. But then you crash, which is why we crave carbs.
Turkey. High concentration of 5-HTP which does NOT make you drowsy like many believe. Your body synthesizes it into one of two things:
If it's near "bedtime" you will produce melatonin, which *does* help you fall asleep.
If it's in the daytime, you will produce...you got it...serotonin.

Getting quality sleep and taking a nap will also help.

Meditation and bio-feedback can also be helpful.

Serotonin is a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. It is 5-hydroxytryptamine. The easiest way of elevating serotonin is to consume a cup of warm milk.
