@doctorchristineb: Serotonin: 🌱A lot of people think that serotonin only affects mood but in fact, the gut is responsible for a large production of serotonin and in the gut it’s used to help with muscle contractions and colonic motility. 🌱Serotonin also helps to support the immune system by suppressing inflammation as well as regulate appetite. 🌱The key to consistent serotonin production is to allow the body to make it on its own by eating foods with its precursor molecules. Anti depressants help your body keep whatever serotonin it’s making stay around longer, but they don’t help you make more of it—You need to do that with food. #guthealthy #serotonin #serotoninboost #moodboost #moodbooster
