Our mood and well-being depends not only on external factors, but also on the state of physical health. Vitamin deficiency can not only worsen physical, but also mental health.
B vitamins and magnesium are involved in the production of serotonin, a hormone that helps control mood and relieve stress.
B vitamins are involved in the functioning of the nervous system, pyridoxine or vitamin B6 is especially important. It protects against stress, improves mood, improves sleep and performance. It is abundant in pistachios, walnuts and garlic.
Zinc also eliminates some of the negative effects of stress, and vitamin E is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals - the main "culprits" of stress and heart disease. Contained in beef, seafood, spinach, carrots, and nuts.
Chicken, beef, pork contain the essential amino acid tyrosine. It increases the level of dopamine - the hormone of happiness, as well as norepinephrine.
Meat not only improves mood, it also increases concentration and has a beneficial effect on memory.
