How About a New Emotional Lifestyle for 2006?
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

We tend to think of feeling angry as being caused by rude drivers, people we don't like, or 100 degree temperatures; that being sad is the result of losing something we had or not having something we wanted; and that feeling good is caused by kind people, successful projects, or ice cream cones.

When we're working on our emotional intelligence we work on our self-talk and attributional style (optimism), our communication skills, empathy, and managing emotions, and it's good to remember that we also live in a body which is made up of chemicals, an internal environment that also affects our emotional state. Let's face it, your less apt to get angry when you're well-rested, eating well, exercising, and not being irritated by toxic cosmetics, lotions and perfumes.

It is believed that our feelings are regulated by neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Serotonin is most often called the "feel good" neurotransmitter.

Here are some things to know about this important mood regulator.

1.Restoring levels of serotonin in the body relieves symptoms of depression and anxiety.

2. Vitamin B6 and magnesium can elevate serotonin. Source: Dr. Allan D. Lieberman, M.D., FAAEM

3. Seratonin receptors decrease significantly with age - up to 55%. Source: Research reported by Carolyn Meltzer, M.D., Assistant Professor of Radiology and Psychiatry, U. of Pittsburgh.

4. Foods high in serotonin are bananas, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, tomatoes, plums, avocados, pineapples, eggplant and walnuts. Source: Roger L. Gould, M.D., U.C.L.A.

5. Anti-depressants work with the serotonin you produce; they don't produce it. Your body produces serotonin through L-tryptophan. L-Tryptophan is present in pork, duck and turkey -- maybe this is one reason we love Thanksgiving so much!

6. Research indicates that low levels of serotonin in the brain can lead to underlying inability to handle powerful feelings which can result in impulsive acts, aggressive behaviors, poor judgment, and self-destructive tendencies.

According to the Society for Neuroscience, in experiments, monkeys with less serotonin are the ones who take daring jumps from the trees and injure themselves. Rats low in serotonin do risky things in experiments, and also accept small immediate rewards instead of waiting for a bigger prize.

7. Serotonin can also be enhanced by talk therapy and by aerobic exercise such as jogging or dance. Source: Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Glenmullen, author of "Prozac Backlash."
