Question

i've read that some kind of foods really helps to lift the spirits up when you are depressed.if you know about it plz tell what kind of food helps to overcome depression?

Answer 1

Yes there are a number of things a vitamin therapy of 10000 mg of vitamin A, 3000 mg of vitamin C time released, 5000 mg of sub-lingual B 12, 2000 mg of Omega 3, 1500 mg of no flush niacin and 6 tablets of cal-mag by Schiff brand. At least the first five if you can't do anything else. Here's a list of other foods. There is a better way!

Food does affect your mood, and what you eat -- and when -- can impact depression. Sugar and caffeine give you a quick lift -- but can leave you feeling down when their effects wear off. This meal plan reduces sugar and caffeine intake because feelings of depression often improve when their consumption is minimized. Complex carbs act as tranquilizers by increasing your amount of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that calms, in your brain. This meal plan contains lots of fruits and whole-wheat foods to increase your complex carb intake. Turkey contains tryptophan which has a calming affect on the brain. Chamomile, peppermint or goyah tea, for your morning and evening mojo has a calming effect on the brain. Chronic dehydration -- however slight -- can cause feelings of anxiety. That's why this diet includes plenty of water, often with some lemon or lime added to liven it up. Golden raisins are high in vitamin B6 and can be added to an meal or eaten as a snack.

Even marginal vitamin deficiencies that don't result in clinical symptoms can negatively affect your mood. This diet, when paired with a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement, will help ensure adequate intake of essential vitamins and minerals (especially the B vitamins and folic acid. Steady blood sugar levels help keep you on an even keel. This meal plan includes complex carbohydrates in every meal and encourages eating small meals spaced evenly throughout the day to help normalize blood sugar levels. ie, vitamin D, magnesium, selenium, and calcium).

Answer 2

Foods wont help depression because u only feel better when u r not thinkin about THAT subject
better then medicine or HELP surround urself with people u trust
ur family to friends if not talkin helps but showin deep emotions to strangers mite not be the thing for you
try answering peoples questions when u answer as serious as those who question ull be appreciated and that makes u feel better about urself because the feelin of being worthy comes from others .. and most people try to fit wit others
sometimes when you are depressed any smiles are too far to come by but little help from others can remind u that u only feel better because u made urself feel better not because anyone helped... no one can help the way u want them to when u r depressed b cuz all u want is that repeatin thoughts to stop

Answer 4

The best thing is exercise. Move it or lose it. Start with walking. go at your own pace. eventually work up to running twice a week if you can. The most difficult part is getting started, but laborious as it may be, exercise is not as bad as having depression.

Also someone said "nuts", but somewhere I heard specifically walnuts (Omega 3's?), but I haven't noticed much difference with any food. On the other hand, exercise is a miracle cure. It has a very significant effect. Its comperable to a drug (because it is a drug; natural ones your body makes). Your body was meant to be worked.

Also, don't drink too much, it's a big downer.

B vitamins help..look for 100mg strength. Eat natural foods, nothing processed and in boxes..Depression is a chemical imbalance of the brain and may be caused by an improper diet..Be sure to take a multi as I said with 100mg of b complex, that helps alot, chamomile, Valerian root, help relax as does warm milk. Treat yourself well and be kind to yourself. I had depression for two years and self talk and eating proper helped me. Bless you..I wish you all the best!
Stay away from anything laden with sugar ..that is the worst you can do for yourself!
