Inflammation plays a significant role in mood regulation by inhibiting the synthesis of key neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Tryptophan, an amino acid found in foods like turkey and carbohydrates, is crucial for serotonin production; however, inflammation can divert tryptophan into a neurotoxic pathway. By consuming EPAs and engaging in proper exercise, one can help mitigate these inflammatory effects and promote healthier serotonin levels, ultimately supporting mood stability.
