Today’s video is all about serotonin and how you can use it to elevate your mood.So if you’ve ever wondered what serotonin does, if your levels may be low, or if you’re tired of the winter blues, then you don’t want to miss this video!
First, what is serotonin and what happens if you don’t have enough?
Serotonin is one of the neurotransmitters involved in mental health. It is essential for our memory, stress response, and processing of emotions. It’s often referred to as the “Happy Hormone” due to its role in promoting positive feelings and prosocial behaviour. Serotonin can also help us sleep well, regulate our appetite, enable us to learn more quickly, and help us consolidate new memories.
If your levels are too low, you might:
Feel low
Have a depressed mood
Feel anxious
Become irritable or anger easily
Have sleep issues
Feel constantly fatigued
Feel impulsive
Have a decreased appetite
Experience nausea or digestive issues or
Crave sweets or simple sugars
So if you tend to get a little down over the winter months, find yourself craving sugars or carbohydrates, are tired all the time, and simply feel “blah,” then you may want to consider low serotonin levels as a potential cause.
And if this does sound like you, be sure to watch the entire video to discover some natural ways of boosting serotonin to help you beat those winter blues!
