Emotional paralysis is a phenomenon present in many patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), also known as delayed psychogenic reaction, is a delayed response caused by a stressful event or situation. PTSD is a delayed and/or persistent response to an unusually threatening, catastrophic event. So how do you manage it with diet? 5-Hydroxytryptamine is indeed the main substance that controls mood. A lack of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the body due to stress, lack of exercise, lack of adequate sun exposure, and especially lack of adequate vitamin B6, B12, vitamin C, folic acid, magnesium, and zinc can lead to depressed mood and nervousness and irritability. Many antidepressant drugs also play a therapeutic role precisely by increasing the level of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the body. The raw material of 5-hydroxytryptamine is tryptophan, which can be provided through our daily diet. Therefore, regular intake of foods rich in tryptophan can increase the rate of synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain, which can effectively improve mood. Tryptophan is mainly contained in fish, chicken, cheese, beans, tofu, oats and eggs. Bananas contain a substance that helps the human brain to produce 5-hydroxytryptamine. Properly consumed, they can increase feelings of calmness and cheerfulness. In addition, bananas also contain vitamin B6, niacin and magnesium, which have antidepressant and sleeping effects. When consuming the above tryptophan-rich foods, it is best to consume them together with carbohydrate-based foods such as fruits, which can promote the absorption and utilization of tryptophan. Another important substance that can uplift the mood is Omega-3 fatty acids, which can keep the mind healthy, improve intelligence, and especially importantly, the higher the level of Omega-3 fatty acids in the blood, the higher the level of 5-hydroxytryptamine, and the better the mood naturally. the best source of Omega-3 fatty acids is deep-sea cold-water fish, especially carnivorous fish, such as mahi-mahi, tuna, mackerel, herring, etc. Therefore, the best way to get enough Omega-3 fatty acids in your body is to become a “fish-eater”, that is, to eat fish food at least three times a week, especially deep-sea carnivorous fish.
