Complex carbs to fight stress

Note: My daily SOS-free homemade complex carbs multi whole grains cereal is my de-stress diet. 

Serotonin is a calming brain chemical. 

All carbs prompt the brain to make more serotonin. For a steady supply of this feel-good chemical, it's best to eat complex carbs, which take longer to digest. 

Good choices include whole-grain breads, pastas, and breakfast cereals, including old-fashioned oatmeal. 

Complex carbs can also help you feel balanced by stabilizing blood sugar levels.
