Here’s what happens when you eat a banana:
Your body digests the banana and absorbs the tryptophan.
This tryptophan travels to your brain.
Your brain converts it into serotonin—the famous “feel-good” neurotransmitter.
Serotonin is your body’s natural chemical for regulating mood, promoting feelings of well-being, calm, and happiness. Low serotonin levels are linked to anxiety, low mood, and depression. By providing the raw material for serotonin production, a banana acts as a gentle, natural mood stabilizer.
