Low serotonin levels contribute melatonin deficiency. We need enough of the hormone melatonin for good sleep. The resulting lack of sleep contributes to increased levels of cortisol. And we know 80% of our melatonin is produced in the gut so what can we eat to help? Avoid alcohol, too much caffeine, processed sugar, artificial sweeteners and add more leafy greens, eggs, nuts, seeds, saurerkraut. The key to a healthy gut is to include a variety of fruit and veg. #highcortisol #seratonin #melatoni
