For example, when you’re under extra stress (emotional or physical), your body and brain, will crave more sugar and carbohydrates. One reason is because it wants to help increase serotonin and dopamine levels. • Women see this happen more often during their menstrual cycles due to their hormonal changes and thus, various cravings occur. • However, what you eat can also influence your mood. So the reverse can happen • And today I’m going to reveal 5 common foods that can decrease your mood, deplete your body, increase negative feelings and thus, even cause or increase depression. • Thus, simple food changes, such as avoiding or limiting today’s 5 foods, can be the difference between feeling much worse or actually feeling more stable, better and happier. • I’ll also give you alternative solutions. • And this very important, especially considering that over 7% of the American population over the age of 18 is diagnosed with clinical depression. • This does not take into account teenagers, which also deal with a lot of depression. • This also does NOT take into account all the people who haven’t been tested, who haven’t sought out help or simply, they just feel really down or depressed… without the “official diagnoses”. • So, if you’re feeling down or depressed, you’re not alone. And, it may not be your fault. It could be related to the foods you’re eating. • There’s hope and at the end of today’s video, I’ll also give you a really effective solution that you can use to help rebalance and optimize brain chemicals, so you can feel happier and reduce feelings of depression, worry and anxiety. • SUGAR • Sugar and salt are found in almost all foods, especially those that taste good. However, in a 2015 study1, it revealed that the increase in added sugars in one’s diet, was associated with an increased likelihood of depression. • In fact, there’s a correlation between depression, diabetes and dementia. And the researchers have discovered that when blood glucose levels are elevated, levels of a protein that encourages the growth of neurons and synapses, drops. • Translation: The simple act of eating sugar makes your brain work at a suboptimal level—and the more you do it, the greater your risk of depression and the greater your risk of diabetes and dementia, too. • SOLUTION: Just read the labels and limit “sugars” whenever possible, especially when you’re not feeling 100%. • Artificial Sweeteners • And this includes artificial sweeteners, especially Aspartame (NutraSweet or Equal), which is found in diet sodas and “no sugar” foods… Because it blocks the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin. This can cause various neuro and head problems such as headaches, insomnia, changes in mood—and yes, depression. • SOLUTION: Avoid all artificial sweeteners. Instead, use natural ones such as Stevia, which is an herbal extract. • Hydrogenated Oils • Hydrogenated oils can be found in most fried foods, as well as packaged “junk” foods -- such as cookies, cakes, candies, chips, crackers, margarine and spreads. • Hydrogenation happens when you take vegetable oils and you heat them or make them into solids. This also causes trans fats, which is the worst type of fat to consume. • Now, I've simplified this process, leaving out the boring chemical stuff because the point is, you want to avoid these fats. • Not only do they cause weight gain, inflammation and other physical problems - but they’re also linked to depression. • SOLUTION: Read labels, avoid hydrogenated and trans fats. At home, it’s best to NOT heat or cook with vegetable or seed oils. Have those cold, like on a salad. If cooking, choose a saturated fat such as butter or better yet, coconut oil -- which happens to have health benefits for your body and mind. • Alcohol • Most people aren’t going to like hearing this, especially since Alcohol is the drug of choice when people are feeling “down” and hopeless. • However, Alcohol is a depressant, and more specifically, depresses your central nervous system (CNS). … Which controls how you feel, physically and emotionally. It controls so many of your neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, etc.) • SOLUTION: Limit or avoid alcohol, especially when you’re feeling down, hopeless or depressed. It’s just going to make it worse! • ======================================== • Thank you for watching.
