Your Brain Get's Hungry

Your brain operates on glucose for its fuel during time of plenty. However, did you ever wonder why you may turn to sugary desserts when feeling stressed? The answer lies in the brains desire for serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for feeling good and satisfied. Serotonin has been linked to depression. So if you find yourself craving excessive carbohydrates, you may want to check with a health care provider who knows how diet influences your mood.
