Food and Nutrition Awareness | Natural Remedies to Depression through Foods

in #food7 years ago (edited)

When the deadline to work is excited and your social calendar is set, the last thing you want to hear is to move away from the selling machine. So we use many types of anti-depression pills that lead us to many other diseases, and we usually do it. Because there is no time to eat healthy foods, the tablets increase, the food decreases. Who has time for a healthy diet? But what to deal with stress levels can actually help you relieve your tension what you eat. Indeed, some foods will help stabilize glucose levels in the blood. Here are some foods that will arrive right when you are satisfied.

Green Leafy Vegetables

In the 2012 study of the journal of 2,800 emotional disorders of middle-aged and elderly people, those who ate more folic acid had the lowest risk of depressive symptoms. Grabbing a cheeseburger when you are stressed is attractive, but eat green.

Turkey Breast

Amino acids in foods containing protein help produce serotonin (a chemical that controls hunger, happiness, and well-being). On its own, tryptophan present in turkey has a comforting effect.

Oat Meal

MIT's research shows that carbohydrates can help the brain to produce serotonin. Serotonin is the same substance that is regulated by antidepressants. But instead of reaching that sweet bear's claw, choose complex carbohydrates. "Stress can raise your blood sugar," Mangieri says. "Complex carbohydrates like oatmeal do not contribute to your potential increase in blood glucose."

Yogurt

In the 2013 study of 36 healthy women at the University of California, Los Angeles, ingesting yogurt probiotics treats emotions, including stress compared to those who use yogurt without probiotics or no yogurt at all. Because this research is on small-scale, more research is needed to confirm the results. However, since yogurt contains calcium and protein in addition to probiotics, you will not wrong by adding more yogurt to your diet.

Salmon

"In salmon fish Omega-3 fatty acids are present. They have anti-inflammatory characteristics that help to prevent the side effects of stress hormones,"

Blueberries

"When you are in stress, you have a fight inside you," Mangieri says. "Antioxidants and phytonutrients contained in berries will fight for the defense to improve the body's response to stress and help fight against stress-related free radicals.

Pistachios

"Pistachio can decrease severe anxiety by dropping your blood pressure and heart rate. Nuts comprise chief phytonutrients that provide support for antioxidants to heart health.

Milk

A 50-year study conducted by the UCL Institute for Child Health in London found an association between 5,966 male and female levels of vitamin D lowering and an increased risk of panic and depression. People who had adequate vitamin D levels had a lower risk of panic disorder than subjects with the lowest levels of vitamin D. For other food rich in vitamin D, salmon, egg yolk, cereal enrichment.

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds are all great sources of magnesium (green leaves, yogurts, nuts, fish). Charging for minerals helps regulate emotions. "Magnesium has been shown to help relieve depression, fatigue, and hypersensitivity reactions.

Avocado

It is said that people eat more when they are depressed. A scientific study has shown anti depression effects of avocado where half an avocado was added to the lunches of participants. The results were amazing that lowered their desire to eat more by 40% for the three hours following the midday meal.

Will keep that in mind. To bad all the greasy delicious foods we crave during those moments lead to worst situations.

Avacado is a great snack on toast with some salt and pepper.

Greasy foods are by far the best! (Who doesn't love pizza or a good burger!?) but your body actually stops craving them over time. The first couple days/ weeks are hard but if you can get past that, your body actually craves healthier options and you find yourself no longer thinking about that slice of pizza.

A very well compiled list..Agree with most of the content..Being a doctor myself i advise many of my patients to take diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and anti-oxidants like fish,citrus fruits.. Milk, green leafy vegetables are very helpful in combating depression...fishes, citrus fruits help in keeping us active, increasing our strength against common diseases...good job....

Welcome to Steemit, I'm here to give you a vote on your very first comment! Great job engaging with the community!

This was helpful. I've been trying to eat healthier for a while now. But, it's not easy with all the crap in the grocery stores. It's always a good rule of thumb to stay on the outside isles . I thought it was very interesting about the Flax seed. I've read a lot lately about how important Magnesium is to our health. And we are not getting enough of it in our diets.. it's so hard to eat healthy. Life is so busy.. and it is stressful . I will myself to eat more of these food you listed above.. Thanks for sharing your wonderful blog..

we need to eat healthy food

We can pay for it now or pay for it later... People eat for convenience because it's easy.. it's a life choice to make a change.. that's the hard part I reckon.

It really helps me to remove the fatigue . Thanks for sharing all the food :) . Loads of love to you .

Diet plays such a huge part in our mental health, particularly in the way it impacts on our gut health.

Great posting @crytocraze. But many people make some mistakes in processing green leafy vegetables. either in cooking or serving. so, the nutrition get reduced or even for some kind of vegetable being danger for health.

Blessings for such an excellent post! Happy to find your blog and be able to see this interesting nutritional information of great health benefit. @cryptokraze

These are all healthy and not so expensive foods. Many people try to eat healthy but they cannot do it for long because they’re too addicted to junk food. The oily fats in junk food only make it harder for you to lose weight so you should totally avoid it. A lot of people try to avoid eating healthy because they think that healthy foods taste disgusting. If you just take a quick look on google you’ll see that there are many different tasty recipes you can choose from.

For someday i feel very weak , I understood my required nutrition but i don't like to eat a tablet. Your post is very helpful for me. Thank @cryptokraze for sharing your post with us.

I hope it will help you get some stress relieved.

From today i will try to recover .

Well you have betterly give a complete diet for people to prevent them from aniexty.But food that are likely to be avoided in stress condition include caffeine,alcohol,diary,processed foods,fried foods etc

Great list. Was nice to see that yogurt made the list.
Other pro and prebiotic foods would be nice to see included as well.
80-90% of serotonin is made in the gut.

Very informative article.
