Heat is generated as a byproduct of microbial breakdown of organic material, and you can use the temperature of your compost to gauge how well the system is working and how far along the decomposition has progressed.
âNearly all psychiatric drugs affect serotonin receptors to some extent, and these receptors also mediate a host of effects outside the brain, for example on blood coagulation, smooth muscle contraction and heart valve growth,â said Bryan Roth, a collaborator on both studies who is professor of pharmacology at the University of North Carolina (UNC).
Although many environmental factors can affect serotonin levels, one specific contributor to healthy serotonin production is physical activity. In research studies, the effects of exercise on serotonin levels has been studied, particularly in respect to conditions like depression, fibromyalgia and anxiety.
