That\u2019s because tryptophan converts\nto serotonin in the brain, which regulates feelings and energy levels. It works\nbecause serotonin is a neurotransmitter, so any food that contains it is a good\none to snack on during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"6-Tuna\">6.
