Smart carbohydrates --> whole grains!

Smart carbohydrates --> whole grains!

Info source:

Smart Carbs
Carbs may be the foe of fad diets, but they’re vital for boosting energy and mood.

They are the body's preferred source of fuel, plus they raise levels of the feel-good chemical, serotonin. 

The key is to avoid sweets, which cause blood sugar to spike and plummet, making you feel tired and moody. 

Instead, pick whole grains like whole-wheat bread, brown rice, and cereal. 

Your body absorbs whole grains more slowly, keeping your blood sugar and energy levels stable.
