Mental health is as important as physical health. Stress and tension can be reduced in a simple way. Here is a list of foods that can help you fight panic.

1. Embrace whole-grain carbs 

Carbohydrates used to have rather a bad reputation. Not long ago dieters avoided them and opted for foods high in protein. Nowadays, nutritionists are trying to explain how important it is to include complex carbs in the menu. Choose foods with complex carbs if you do not want to gain weight. If, besides looking good you wish to feel cool, calm and collected, we suggest you should eat whole grain products. Some of the best would be brown rice and whole-wheat crackers. You will raise the level of serotonin – the hormone responsible for you feeling happy.

2. Greek yogurt

Try to go Greek for a while and see the effect. Greek yogurt is a wonderful snack. It is readily available at any supermarket. It costs little and there are a few varieties of it. Pick your favorite and enjoy a peaceful life. Yogurt contains probiotics. The active bacteria that you find in this food strengthen your immune system. They reduce the risk of developing bad bacteria and provide your body with calcium and potassium. The latter two minerals improve your mood.
