Oatmeal
If you’re looking for a mood stabilizer, look no further than oatmeal, the perfect breakfast choice. According to Mills, when consuming oatmeal, your blood sugar levels go up, and, as a result, your serotonin levels maximize. And yes, any source of sugar can do that, but it’s not healthy.
Those sugar sources will boost your mood for a couple of hours, but as soon as your blood sugar levels crash again, your mood will be even more damaged. Oatmeal offers a good amount of fiber, too, which will slow down the digestion process of carbohydrates. Meaning that you won’t experience blood sugar spikes after eating oatmeal.
It’s basically a win-win. Boosting your serotonin levels while keeping your blood sugar levels in check.
