Eat a banana, get happy,
according to Dr. Caroline Longmore, author of The Serotonin
Secret. She says depression could be blamed on lack of
serotonin, the "happy hormone," and that you can boost
your body's serotonin levels by eating foods rich in the amino
acid tryptophan like cottage cheese, turkey--and bananas! She
recommends eating at least four bananas a week.

Have you heard of the banana-happiness connection? And are bananas one of your go-to fruits?
