How Do I Ease Depression With Barley?

Barley & Depression

Barley is one of the wholegrains that most people enjoy, plus it's quick and easy to prepare. My favorite way is to add some to soup and boil until barley is fluffy - about 20 minutes. The wonderful thing about barley is it is VERY high in B-1, one of nature's tranquilizers. It helps relieve anxiety, mood, and can ease down tenseness. It's also a great source of fiber and complex carbohydrates, which translates into a nice sustained energy source for your body. Barley also raises serotonin levels in the brain and since serotonin is vital to good moods - barley should make it into your meal plans as often as possible.
