Banana (Smile) - Depression



If you feel moody or some sort like that, cheer yourself up and put a smile on your face by eating a banana! This is because banana contains a protein called tryptophan.

Once the tryptophan has been digested, it then gets converted in a chemical neurotransmitter called serotonin. This is one of the most important mood control chemicals in the brain. For your information, most of anti depressant drugs work by adjusting levels of serotonin production which mean higher levels are associated with better moods. So, let’s us eat banana after every tests or quizzes so that we can resist any bad mood if we can’t do it well! =D
