As winter sets in and those long sunny days leave us, you might start craving carbs. Relax, this is natural. It relates to the drop in stored serotonin levels in our brain. As the levels fall, the body cries out for more (seretonin is the “feel good” chemical in you brain). Eating carbohydrates raise our levels of tryptophan, which increases our serotonin levels. The result is feeling more calm, having better sleeping habits and craving less carbs.
The trick now is to eat the right carbs. That chocolate chip cookie you’re eyeing up isn’t quite what I’m talking about. You need the low-glycemic index, complex carbohydrates that also have nutritional value, such as whole grains, raw fruits & vegetables, raw nuts, seeds and beans. These are the comfort foods that will give you the results you’re looking for.
So until those sunny days return, stock up on the good crabs to feel great all winter long!
