Want to raise your spirits and boost your mood in 20 minutes? Reach for carbohydrates in a sweet and starchy snack that’s easily digested for a fast fix. Make your treat a complex carb and you get a mood elevator that’s an effective “time-release” solution to keep depression at bay. You’ll find both types of carbs in honey on whole-wheat crackers, oatmeal with raisins, or a whole-wheat English muffin with jam.
