Artgerechte Food Facts
Dark chocolate: Chocolate with a cocoa content of over 75% can help to normalize energy levels. The high serotonin content has a mood-lifting effect and promotes hormone regulation.
Eggs are a great source of protein and have a firm place in a species-appropriate diet. They are a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and contain numerous vitamins, such as vitamins A, B, D and E. (Please note: animal products are only species-appropriate if the animal has also been kept and fed in a species-appropriate manner.
Beetroot belongs to the root vegetable family and is rich in folic acid and the secondary plant substance betaine, which protects the cardiovascular system and has a positive effect on the liver and gallbladder. Betaine can increase serotonin levels and therefore beet has a positive effect on mood.
Cocoa contains a variety of neurotransmitters that promote the release of mood-enhancing substances in the body. Tryptophan, for example, stimulates the production of the happiness hormone serotonin. In addition, the very high magnesium content has a relaxing and anticonvulsant effect on muscles and nerves. Cocoa also contains antioxidants, calcium, iron and unsaturated fatty acids.
Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in polyunsaturated fats. They also have an antioxidant effect.
