The role of pasta, which is rich in tryptophan and B vitamins, in supporting a good mood has been scientifically proven.
Especially in Mediterranean countries such as France, Italy, Spain, and Greece, many people view pasta as a comfort food.
This perception is supported by its content of the amino acids L-Phenylalanine and Tryptophan, which are known to contribute to feelings of happiness by increasing serotonin levels in the brain.
Furthermore, it has been determined that the carbohydrates in pasta are a factor that increases the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to increased feelings of happiness.
These findings encompass a broad body of scientific literature, including studies published in the journal The Lancet Public Health.
