Whole Grains For Mental Health

Kathi J. Kemper, MD has reported in her book "Mental Health, Naturally" that eating whole grains is good for your mental health. Whole grains such as oatmeal, brown rice, whole grain breads, cereals, pasta, and popcorn promote mental health. Essential vitamins such as vitamin B6 and folate are in whole grains. Blood sugar is balanced for hours from the complex carbohydrates in whole grains which are absorbed slowly. In contrast simple sugars and easily absorbed carbohydrates can cause an immediate rush or high and later lethargy and confusion. To keep your blood sugar and mood stable eat whole, rather than processed, grains.
