Serotonin: The Happiness Chemical

If there’s one thing you enjoy (and really there is) it’s a good dose of serotonin right between your synapses. Serotonin is typically known as the chemical that keeps you happy and is the target for most antidepressants whose role is to keep it lingering in your brain for longer. As such it’s a good idea to eat lots foods such as bananas are turkey which are rich in tryptophan, the precursor molecule for serotonin.

However serotonin has a few other roles to play, in fact 90% of serotonin present in your body is found in intestinal cells and regulates intestinal movements. A quality that is exploited by harmful bacteria (and many seeds) who secrete serotonin to trigger diarrhea. Serotonin is also the component of insect bites that causes pain but thankfully is also key in blood clotting.
