What Hummus can do for you?

If you take the words of neurologists seriously, (there is no reason why you would not) then, you (I too) should only certain foods that contain the following substances:
• Dopamine
• Norepinephrine
• Serotonin

I know this sound ominous and also throw no meaning. Let me quote neurologist Dr Rajesh Kumar from New Delhi.

"The brain communicates by chemical substances passed from one nerve cell to the next. These chemicals, called neurotransmitters, are made in the brain from the food we eat.”

The above three are great neurotransmitters but unfortunately not all that we eat contribute to our mental health.

You must know that Dopamine and nor epinephrine are called alertness chemicals that help us think and react fast. Of course we all know that Serotonin is a calming chemical to dissipate stress and tension.

If all these make sense to you, then, your next question would, which is the best food for mentally alert and at the same time tension free life.

My answer is Hummus, an Arabic food dip. Look up at Wikipedia for more information. The image below of Hummus with pine nuts and olive oil is reproduced from there only.
