BOOK EXCERPT
1. Eat more wholegrain carbohydrates
Increase your intake of complex carbohydrates such as whole grain bread, pastry and cereals since they increase the level of serotonin in the body which "soothes the mind" and imparts a feeling of calmness, relaxation and emotional well being.
This may explain why a lot of comfort foods that people tend to reach for when they are feeling sad, lonely, stressed or depressed are carbohydrates. Perfect examples include chocolate cake, cookies, donuts and potato crisps.
In addition, we can also see from the Bible that when Elijah was depressed, God sent an angel to wake him up and eat and he found a coal baked bread (most probably whole grain) which he ate and then went back to sleep again. (1 Kings 19:4-6)
Therefore, eat a whole grain sandwich when feeling down and also before your bed time if you are having trouble falling asleep because of depression as it will increase your serotonin levels which will also help you sleep better.
