Carbs help regulate the production of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter in controlling mood and suppressing anxiety. A complex carb like brown rice will give you the best high-carb-low-cal combo.


4. Puffy Eyes? Try Green Tea


The puffiness that creates dark circles under your eyes is often caused by fluid retention. Green tea is a diuretic that’ll reduce unwanted swelling all over your body.


5. Low Energy? Try Bananas


The potassium-packed fruit is also a great source of magnesium, a key element in producing and storing energy.
