It&#8217;s advisable to consume them during evening meals as they promote sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consuming\u00a0<strong>eggs, cheese, turkey, salmon, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/en\/signature-sugar-free-ice-cream-right-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">raw cocoa<\/a> or 85% dark chocolate, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame, or chia (also rich in fatty acids and omega-3), and milk, whole yogurt, and plums\u00a0<\/strong>is recommended because they contain a high concentration of\u00a0<strong>tryptophan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This amino acid stimulates serotonin production and, unlike serotonin, can&nbsp;<strong>cross the blood-brain barrier and reach the brain,<\/strong>&nbsp;a process facilitated when taken with carbohydrates, such as rice. Carbohydrates promote insulin production, facilitating the entry of amino acids into muscle cells, except for tryptophan, which, having &#8220;eliminated&#8221; the competition, will have a clear path to access the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to emphasize that our&nbsp;<strong>body<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>doesn&#8217;t produce tryptophan independently;<\/strong>&nbsp;it must be obtained through food. However, not all tryptophan-rich foods automatically contribute to serotonin production in the body. The synthesis of serotonin also requires&nbsp;<strong>carbohydrates, iron, and B-group vitamins.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutraceutical Chef Cristiana Montellanico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medigene.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medigene<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cristiana Montellanico,<\/strong>&nbsp;born in Rome, has shown a strong interest in cooking since childhood, influenced by her family&#8217;s long-standing tradition in the restaurant industry.
