Rich in Complex Carbohydrates Consumption of foods with high carbohydrate content also changes the amino acid content in the blood. When blood sugar is elevated, insulin is secreted, and insulin allows most amino acids in the blood to be absorbed by muscle tissues, except tryptophan.
Thus, the level of tryptophan in the blood increases and tryptophan enters the brain to initiate serotonin synthesis. Add wheat, bulgur and whole wheat bread, rich in tryptophan and poor in neutral amino acids, to your diet. In addition, to feel more calm, happy and energetic, you should consume fresh fruit and vegetables every day.
Sufficient Protein Tryptophan is one of the least amino acids found in protein sources. A protein-rich diet increases the proportion of larger neutral amino acids rather than tryptophan.
This situation; it reduces tryptophan entry into the brain and hence reduces serotonin synthesis. This leads to a depressive mood. If you avoid excessive protein intake in your diet, you will have a healthier mood.
