Organic Foods To Help Depression
Food can have a lasting effect on behaviour and certainly the better the quality of food the better the effect on our health.
All of the organic foods to help depression listed below are in fact, ordinary foods. The essential factor is they do not contain
additives and pesticides, known to poison the human body.
Could We Be Eating Our Way To Insanity? By John Johnson
Recent studies released in the British press have come to the conclusion that many of
today's mental illnesses may be due to our diet.
The rise in these conditions over the last 50 years coincides with our increased consumption of junk foods, chemical additives and processed
meals. We need to eat organic foods to help depression symptons.
In reviewing the recent research, the Mental Health Foundation has found a clear link between ADD, depression, Alzheimer's disease and
schizophrenia and lack of essential fats, vitamins and minerals in our diets. One of the reports states:
"Food can have an immediate and lasting effect on mental health and behavior because of the way it affects the structure and function of the
brain."
For example, they found a much higher incidence of depression in countries which have a low intake of fish. They also discovered that
schizophrenia is linked with a deficiency of antioxidant vitamins and essential fats.

A pioneering mental health program is being carried out at Rotherham in the UK. There doctors are treating their patients, in part, with
dietary changes. Omega 3 fatty acids, multivitamins, fish, leafy greens and nuts were added to the patients diets. Significant reductions in
depression were seen and patients reported an improvement in both mood and energy levels.
The brain requires a mixture of complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids (EFAs) - particularly Omega 3 and Omega 6 - vitamins and water to
function properly. Highly processed foods often contain high levels of trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils), which can assume the same
position in the brain as the EFAs, without delivering the proper nutrients.
Take a look at your own diet. Are you feeding your brain what it needs? If not, you may want to start eating more of the "brain healthy" foods
below:
* Vegetables, leafy greens in particular * Seeds and nuts * Fruit * Whole grains * Wheat germ * Organic eggs * Organic farmed or wild fish,
especially deep sea varieties and salmon
