Breakfast gives a boost to your energy levels that help you to last the day. Carbohydrates like porridge, oats and proteins like milk forms an ideal breakfast.

Carb carvings

Food rich in carbohydrates increases tryptohan levels, thus promoting the release of serotonin- a hormone that soothes you. Food rich in fibre are rich in complex carbs. Potatoes with their skin on are great source of natural dietary fibre. Such complex carbs are good but one should avoid simplex processed sugar, as it provides you with instant energy but can lead to an instant low too.

B good, always

B vitamins especially thiamine or B1 and riboflavin or B2, are anti-stress vitamins. Dry fruits like almonds, pulses and whole grains are good sources of these vitamins.

Chocolate catch

Chocolate also triggers the release of serotonin. Both chocolate and coffee have caffeine, which stimulates your brain and makes you alert. An average cup of tea contains 50 mg of caffeine while a cup of coffee contains 70-100 mg. so, if you want an instant kick, coffee is your drink.
