7. Dietary Interventions

Doctors recommend some specific dietary interventions, including boosting your intake of omega-3 fatty acids, reducing caffeine intake, and following a high-protein diet. Healthy fats have been shown to boost serotonin levels, while caffeine reduces them. Choose proteins like turkey, which stimulate tryptophan production. This naturally occurring hormone might make you feel a little sleepy, but it is also a proven mood-enhancer.
