Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps to relay messages from one area of the brain to another. It is believed since Serotonin is affected by so many of our brain cells that it actually plays a major role in human sleep, social engagements, mood, and sexual desire.

Many studies have shown the low level of serotonin has been linked to depression and other mental medical conditions.

Many nutritionists believe you should eat fresh nuts every single day. Nuts can easily be added to your diet and have been linked to offsetting anxiety and depression and make you calm and happier.

Just like spinach, nuts are also known to help the brain make serotonin which is one of the neurotransmitters that can be directly affecting your mood in a positive way.
