Eating bananas often can treat depression
Singaporean nutritionist Chen Baolin said that there is a certain truth in eating bananas before a performance to "suppress shock". Because bananas contain tryptophan and rich vitamin B6, which are important components in the synthesis of serotonin, and serotonin has analgesic, hypnotic, soothing and other effects. Therefore, eating bananas can indeed reduce tension and relieve stress. Relevant studies believe that the lack of tryptophan is the basis for causing affective mental disorders and can lead to the tendency of depression. The tryptophan in bananas can make people feel happy, thereby preventing and treating depression.
