B) Consuming high-quality carbs
Carbohydrate intake stimulates insulin, which lowers competing large neutral amino acids in blood and increases the tryptophan ratio available to cross the blood–brain barrier, boosting brain serotonin synthesis. Choosing higher‑quality (complex, fiber‑rich) carbs is recommended to avoid rapid spikes/crashes.
