Complex Carbohydrates

If you are having trouble sleeping because of depression, consume complex carbohydrates like wholegrain bread sandwiches or crackers at least an hour before your bed time because they increase serotonin levels which helps you sleep better.

Brown rice is a complex carbohydrate which deserves a mention of its own since it is also rich in vitamin B1 (thiamine) and vitamin B9 (folic acid) which are all beneficial for the management of depression. Therefore, replace the white rice in your menu with brown rice.

Oatmeal is another whole grain food which is important for the management of depression since it can increase the levels of serotonin which imparts a calm feeling of emotional well being. Therefore include this healthy comfort food in your diet.

Other excellent sources of complex carbohydrates are the ancient grains like amaranth, quinoa, millet, barley, spelt, and teff.
