Remember how Jerry, the clever little mouse, hesitated to share his food with Tom? He dreamt of building a grand ‘Cheese House.’ Now, visualize yourself like Jerry inside that house, moving across diced and sliced cheeses. The thought of that golden cheese cube will naturally bring a sense of delight to you. This is made possible by the pleasure associated with the ‘feel-good hormone’ called serotonin.
What is serotonin?
Serotonin called the ‘feel-good hormone’ manages your body functions. Similarly, it sends signals to your brain’s nerves through a neurobiological connection. Moreover, it helps in improving emotions; when you feel depressed. It is known as ‘the magical chemical’ to enhance our mood.
Role of cheese in influencing emotions
Cheese consists of a special amino acid called ‘tryptophan’, which boosts your serotonin level. Accordingly, Healthline ranks cheese among the top 7 serotonin-boosting foods. Likewise, we consider it as ‘the best therapist’ to lift our spirits with a low consultation fee.
However, cheese has bioactive peptides that influence your emotions through the gut-brain axis.
You may be wondering, what’s the gut-brain axis?
The ‘gut-brain axis’ is a pathway through which neurobiological signals are exchanged in your body. According to Buey et al. (2023), peptides, enzymes, and lipids as milk properties regulate the neurotransmitter. Likewise, the neurotransmitter creates an impact on the serotonin level through cheese.
Cheese isn’t just delicious but also induces true happiness within us. For more information, read Is cheese really good for health?
Therefore, cheese increases the serotonin level in the body. Dollons ensures the highest quality in milk processing, to provide nutritious dairy products.
