Hello Hivers.. Did you know that food can affect our mood or feeling? It's because of serotonin. *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.* Serotonin is a chemical found in the brain, blood, intestines, and connective tissues of the human body. It causes blood vessels to contract, helps transmit information across the nervous system, and has a role in brain function. **Serotonin is essential for overall health and wellbeing, and people often associate it with positive mood.** Reduced levels of serotonin in the brain may be a cause of memory problems and low mood. Also, low serotonin levels are more likely to affect a person negatively if they have had depression before. In this blog, we look at eight healthful foods that may help boost serotonin. ### 1.
