GABA and Serotonin are neurotransmitters that help regulate the body’s anxiety level and mood. Brain tests have shown that 15% of normal GABA function and only 25% of normal Serotonin function. You can stimulate your body to produce GABA by eating foods rich in glutamic acid and glutamate. You can also stimulate your body to produce serotonin by eating foods rich in tryptophan. GABA and Serotonin act as gatekeepers in the body. GABA is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter of the nervous system. GABA is also involved in the production of endorphins, brain chemicals involved in the feeling of happiness. (Onedietandhealth.com)
GABA and Serotonin are counterparts to Dopamine and Acetylcholine that allow us to move, act, focus and be alert. GABA helps you deal with stressful situations, acting as a calming agent when stress levels increase. Serotonin helps to maintain the body's sleep-wake cycles and the internal clock. Serotonin also plays a role in appetite, motion and motor skills, cognitive and autonomic functions. Serotonin is produced both in the Central Nervous System and in the Peripheral Nervous System. Serotonin produced in the CNS is associated with anger regulation, body temperature, mood, sleep, pain modulation and appetite. Serotonin produced in the PNS is associated with GI motility and pain modulation. (Knowmental.com) …show more content…
GABA receptor sites comprise nearly one-third of all brain neurotransmitter receptors sites. GABA receptors are also involved with immune system function and either activate or suppress several immune system activities. Serotonin regulates several important functions including sleep, appetite, feeding, and body weight. Serotonin is also stored by blood platelets that release the chemical when they bind to a clot, in order to promote blood clotting.
