10. Types of carbohydrates

Sugar consumption can increase stress and cause altered emotional states. While carbohydrates are essential to the diet, choosing complex over simple carbohydrates may help mitigate stress.

Complex carbs, like brown rice, whole grain bread, and starchy vegetables, take longer to break down and cause blood sugar to rise more slowly instead of spiking.
