Calming Foods

On this site, Sue Gilbert, M.S., writes about Carbohydrates for calming the mind. She writes: "That's because of their effect on brain chemistry, not blood sugar. Calm people can have high blood sugar levels, and even sound-asleep folks can have high blood sugar. What induces that sense of calm from carbohydrates is their ability to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, the one responsible for a relaxed, calm feeling. Eat complex carbs for longer lasting effects."
