What is serotonin?? It's your 'happy hormone!' Where is it made?? Over 80%-90% of your serotonin is made in your intestinal tract! You know that 'gut feeling?' It's actually real!! Having ideal levels of serotonin is optimal because whenever serotonin levels are ideal, you feel mellow, peaceful, and relaxed. Serotonin increases impulse control, which allows you to "just say no." People with low serotonin do not have good impulse control....think impulse eating?? Can you say no after 1 cookie or do you need to eat the plate of cookies?? People with low levels of serotonin are often depressed and find themselves craving simple carbs because simple carbs raise serotonin. They move tryptophan into the brain to make serotonin. The addiction to sugar is the desire to raise the "feel good" serotonin level. #simplefacts #knowledge #balanceyourbloodsugar #raiseyourseotonin #controlyourcravings #pinkdrinkpurpose
