Depressed? Say Hello to Carbs!

Today I read that swearing off  of carbs may be making you depressed!  No, not because you "miss" them, but because carbohydrates release serotonin, a "well-known contributor to feelings of well-being".  If your body does not get enough carbs, your brain will stop regulating serotonin, which will make you  feel "down in the dumps".  Instead of swearing off of them completely, try a diet that includes complex carbs, such as whole grains and veggies (do your research or ask your Doctor if you have questions).  And don't forget to smile!
