Fermented foods
- Since up to 90% of your body’s serotonin is produced in your gut, a healthy gut may correspond to a good mood.
- Fermented foods, which include kimchi, yogurt, kefir, kombucha, and sauerkraut, may improve gut health and mood.
- The fermentation process allows live bacteria to thrive in foods that are then able to convert sugars into alcohol and acids.
- During this process, probiotics are created. These live microorganisms support the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut and may increase serotonin levels.
- It’s important to note that not all fermented foods are significant sources of probiotics, s
uch as in the case of beer, some bread, and wine, due to cooking and filtering.
