Depression: Detox, Diet and Nutritional SupplementsDo you know that depression relief often can be achieved through detox methods? I will explain the part that toxins play, and ways for you to feel happier and more energetic.So many people are on prescription drugs because mood results from a number of factors, and one important influence is what is going on in your body! That's why drugs like Prozac work... ...however, if you do one tenth of what I suggest in these pages, you will significantly relieve depression naturally! Diet to Relieve Depression: A Few Quick HintsJust to give you help right away, the first thing you can do is cut way down on refined sugar in all its forms. Candy, cakes, white sugar, all processed foods (many are laced with generous amounts of sugar).Refined sugar is a real kill-joy! Did you know that... many symptoms of deranged blood sugar are just like symptoms of various mental illnesses. Amazing, isn't it! sugar damages brain chemistry and function in the same way that cocaine, heroin and opiates do? Going further, substance abuse can be triggered by poor diet and blood sugar disturbances that leave people more susceptible to addiction. In addition, it is devastating to cardiovascular health and increases risk of developing cancer. Dr. Robert Atkins called sugar 'the most commonly consumed cancer-causing substance in the modern world.' Cut out refined sugar and emphasize healthy fats, high-quality protein and dark green vegetables. Choose satisfying, varied foods for your meals and snacks. For example, rather than just having an apple, which is mostly carbs (good ones) and fiber, why not have an apple with raw aged cheddar cheese and a small handful of fresh walnuts? The protein, fat and minerals such as calcium in the cheddar, and the omega-3 essential fatty acids, vitamin E and B-Vitamins in the walnuts, added to the apple's enzyme-rich carbohydrates, potassium, boron and other minerals will provide a full meal! Now, on to our discussion of how detox methods can help you feel more optimistic and energized... Meditation Can Help You Feel Happier'Why,' you may ask, 'are we talking about meditation? I thought we were talking about why detox methods help depression?'Here's the reason... Because meditation IS a detox method...for the mind! Along with physical means of detoxification, everyone can benefit from taking time to be alone and quiet the mind. This is something that was (still is) invaluable in my own physical and emotional healing! Often, I spent my meditation time out in nature, which magnified the calm contemplation and helped me let go of thinking. Have you ever stopped to LOOK AT WHAT YOUR MIND IS DOING? Try that - it just might make you dizzy how busy your mind is. Meditation is 'detoxification for the mind.' Not only will it help you feel calmer and more whole, meditation will help increase the happiness in your life ! Have you ever thought of the idea that neurotic thoughts can be regarded as a form of toxicity? Going further, we absorb so much from our environment (the bad news on the internet and car radio, other peoples' worries and disharmony) and it all gets re-run subconsciously and surfaces as tension, anxiety and depression. Do consider taking even ten minutes a day to calm your mind. Over time, done consistently, it will change your life in wonderful ways!
