Depression help

Hundreds of thousands of people across the world cope with depression. This is typically accompanied by a lack of energy and inability to maintain concentration or interest in life.  Foods eaten daily could affect a person’s state of depression. There are foods that are beneficial in helping manage depression.

Good sources of carbohydrates can be used to manage depression.  The carbohydrates desired are linked to strong levels of serotonin. These include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Vitamin c rich foods such as spinach, oranges, grapefruit, and peas are affective in coping with depression. Low levels of vitamin E has been linked to anxiety and depression. This antioxidant can boost mood and found in chickpeas, oats, seeds, nuts and canola oil. Omega-3 fatty acids provide many health benefits. Scientists have revealed that low levels of omega-3 fatty acids may also have associated with depression.  Eating even small amounts of these fatty acids can have a positive effect on state of mind. Sources of omega-3 fatty acids are fatty fish, flaxseed, nuts, canola oil, walnuts, and dark green leafy vegetables.

An amino acid found in many protein sources called tyrosine has been proven to boost dopamine and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters help a person feel alert and energetic. To boost benefits, add more beans, peas, lean beef, milk, poultry, yogurt, and fish to the diet.  Whole grains have many healthy nutrients. They are high in fiber, vitamins, and amino acids that are proven to boost mood. Whole grains are found in brown rice, whole grain cereal, whole wheat pasta, and whole grain breads. Last, but certainly not least is and one of the building blocks of life is water. Drinking much water helps alleviate anxiety and depression.  Water may be the most important substances when it comes to boosting mood. If you or anyone you know is dealing with anxiety or depression, eating the appropriate nutrients may help considerably. Although this is true, if you suffer from depression, please seek treatment and support to battle this disease.  Please visit tpnbodyperfect.com and view our demonstration at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb4cdh5XAeg&t=3s.

Acid base balance

Many foods we consume produce  an acid or alkaline  base  known  as  bica rbonate that is released  into the bloodstream  after being digested ,  absorbed , and metabolized. Grains,  fish, meat ,  poultry, shellfish , cheese , milk, and salt release acid. Too many of these foods can increase acidity which depletes valuable minerals.  H ighly acidic intake over time may result in heart disease, diabetes, kidney  disease , or bone,  joint, and  muscle weakness.   Cultures that do not have access to many fruits and vegetables have a very highly acidic diet. Eskimos eat  large  amounts of seal meat and fish. They eat a few  grains many  times   resulting in an acidic   diet.
