Ways to Improve Mental and Metabolic Health
Improving mental and metabolic health involves several key strategies. First, establish social connections as mirror neurons in the brain enhance emotional understanding and generate serotonin, fostering contentment. Second, engage in purposeful contributions to others, as acts of giving enhance personal well-being and serotonin levels, even if they appear selfless. Third, implement coping mechanisms, focusing on adequate sleep, mindfulness, and regular exercise to lower cortisol, which spikes from sleep deprivation, multitasking, and sedentary lifestyles. Lastly, prioritize cooking real foods rich in tryptophan—essential for serotonin production—while avoiding ultra-processed foods high in fructose, which negatively affects serotonin levels, and ensuring adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids to support brain health. By connecting, contributing, coping, and cooking, individuals can effectively balance dopamine and serotonin, reduce cortisol levels, and promote overall mental and metabolic health.
