Serotonin and the success story of the latest generation of antidepressants: not only did they gain a foothold in psychiatry for the treatment of depression, but they have also begun to be discussed in a broader medical context. Over 60 million Americans regularly use them in the form of Prozac, Valium, Zolof and several other types of “selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors”
It is a similar case with those who still don’t have enough after two bars of chocolate, or with those who can eat a whole bunch of bananas or an endless amount of spaghetti. Everyone is unknowingly looking for serotonin, the hormone of happiness.
However, there are also natural and inherent sources of serotonin – in vegetables, fruits and herbs.
THE SECRET OF SEROTONIN
Serotonin is made in the body from the amino acid L-Tryptophan, which is available as a medicine. Since it is an amino acid, we might think that it is enough to eat enough meat. However, after eating meat, one feels heavier, as many people have unfortunately found out many times. People who, on the other hand, eat a substantial amount of raw foods, have a better experience, especially if it is eaten on an empty stomach. But this is not easily acceptable for anyone, as raw food is not easily digestible for everyone.
THE MESSENGER OF SEROTONIN AS A HORMONE CONDUCTOR
L-tryptophan is the basic building block in the synthesis of the central substance of serotonin in the brainstem. Other amino acids, such as those with a branched chain, for example valine, leucine, isoleucine, tyrosine and phenylalanine, use the same transport routes to cross the brain-blood barrier into the cerebrospinal fluid, usually L-tryptophan’s transport is prevented in extrusion chambers.
SLEEP HORMONE MELATONIN
The sleep hormone melatonin is very important for survival. In today’s modern life full of stress, often a poor diet and a dangerous shift in the food spectrum from vegetables to animal protein, the supply of naturally occurring melatonin is no longer ensured.
With a lack of serotonin, we can experience its deficiency mainly during autumn and winter depression. In a time when we had forgotten the secrets of a well-atuned life brought by the hormone of happiness and well-being, serotonin, most people probably suffer from cerebral serotonin deficiency on a daily basis.
We will all do well if we try to ensure the optimal supply of cerebral serotonin in order to increase our quality of life. This involves ensuring the full functioning of important mental and physical functions, such as resistance to stress, control over sleep and wakefulness, control over body temperature and pain, control of impulses and memory and the ability to learn. The effects of serotonin can be clearly seen either immediately after an increase in serotonin levels or after a few days or weeks.
Serotonin also modulates other hormones in many brain receptors, such as the “memory hormone” acetylcholine, the happiness hormone dopamine, the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone, and the love hormone oxytocin.
Significant effects of well-filled serotonin reservoirs are markedly increased alertness, concentration, and mental and physical endurance. This brings us back to the ancestor of modern medicine, Hippocrates, who said, “Let food be thy medicine, let medicine be thy food”.
