Got the Blues? Try some serotonin!

Got the Blues? Here is an inexpensive way to get some serotonin. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter in the brain that maintains mood balance. It also makes you feel good.

This morning my doctor told me that if you exercise at least 4 times a week with a workout time of 40 minutes to an hour, you will raise your serotonin levels in your brain 40 percent.

Try this. If you are feeling down, get out and do some physical activity. Start with any activity. Walking, running, etc.

Did I say serotonin was inexpensive? It is actually free. The body produces it. All you have to do is use it.
