A very serotoninergic snack

Having a snack at 16:30 is important not only to fight against the hypoglycaemia occurring naturally at these times, but also to optimize the production of serotonin! Thus, here is an example to taste ideal to do good and fill up with tryptophan, the amino acid precursor of serotonin.

Very serotoninergic, it includes:

• a glass of cherry or cherry juice, in which one can add two tablespoons of chia seeds
• a handful of walnuts
• 30gr of dark chocolate
• And if you play sports at the end of the day, then you can accompany it all with a banana (ripe!).

Indeed, as mentioned in this article, banana provides a lot of good nutrients for the brain and is rich in tryptophan, an amino acid precursor of serotonin, neurotransmitter indispensable for the "zen attitude".

Dark chocolate also contains tryptophan and phenylethylamine, a chemical compound that stimulates the production of endorphins that support our well-being, as well as a lot of magnesium, a natural sedative that can greatly improve the quality of sleep.
