SEROTONIN

Do you suffer from "moderate to severe" sadness, tension, lack of energy or motivation? Countless Americans do.

Mood-related issues keep doctors, counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists busy dealing with suffering patients. Why?

Modern life dictates that many people are exposed to almost constant stress.  Our electronics are always on stimulating our minds day and night. We deal with increased traffic congestion, the roller coaster stock market, the possibility of terrorist attacks and the whims of Mother Nature. Our bodies are constantly revved up and ready to take action.
Health experts believe that the results of this unrelieved pressure is that our supplies of serotonin -- the brain's feel good hormone -- are constantly depleted. A lack of serotonin allows anxiety and worry to take over.

To help you stay calm, positive and focused, try these natural serotonin boosters:

1. Get some sunshine. You need at least 20-30 minutes of sun 3 times a week. Take a walk outside if you can.
2. Exercise. Aerobic exercise triggers serotonin production.
3. Eat fatty, cold-water fish like salmon or tuna 2-3 times a week. Or take a high-quality fish oil supplement. St. John's Wort works for some. And serotonin is available over-the-counter in tablet form. 

When you shop for groceries or health supplements, don't forget the importance of serotonin.
