Is there a connection between food and mood?

• So what do you think or believe?

• Do you feel better when you eat certain things?

• Do you feel worse when you eat other things?

Concentration on the good

Consider this:

“Imagine what it would be if, as a national policy, we said would be only successful if we had fewer people going to the hospital next year than last year?

The idea then would be to have such nutritionally dense,unadulterated food that people who ate it actually felt better, had more energy and weren’t sick as much.”

Joel Salatin, owner/farmer of Polyface Farms in Virginia

8 Principles to live by

1.The whole is greater the sum of the parts

Nutrition represents the combined activities of countless vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, phytochemicals, macromolecules, & hundreds of chemicals that we haven’t discovered.

Page 30: Change your food change your mood

8 Principles to live by

2. Vitamins are not a panacea for good health

In general people who take vitamins also take better care of their body, make healthier choices and are invested in their health.

Page 31: Change your food change your mood

8 Principles to live by

3. There are virtually no nutrients in animal based food that is better provided by plants.

– No cholesterol– 9x less fat– Same protein– 3000X more beta carotene– Fiber– 70X more vitamin C– 8X more folate– 20X more vitamin E– 10X more magnesium– Twice the calcium

Page 32: Change your food change your mood

8 Principles to live by

4. Genes DO NOT determine disease on their own.

Epigenetics: genes function only by being activated, or expressed, and nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes, good or bad, are expressed!

You have control over your fate!!!

Page 33: Change your food change your mood

8 Principles to live by

5. Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of noxious chemicals.

Eating real food provides nutrition that can counteract all those detrimental chemicals we put on the food.

Page 34: Change your food change your mood

8 Principles to live by

6. The same nutrition that prevents disease in the early stage (before diagnosed) is the same nutrition that prevents disease in the later stages (after diagnosed)

Page 35: Change your food change your mood

8 Principles to live by

7. Nutrition that is truly beneficial for one chronic condition will support health across the board

We are a map of multiple biochemical pathways which share common nutrients to work.

Page 36: Change your food change your mood

8 Principles to live by

8. Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence.

You can’t affect one area of the body without effecting others. Think of how drugs create side effects and nutrients have multiple benefits.

Page 37: Change your food change your mood

Eating for mood

1. Drink ½ your body weight in water per day

2. Only eat REAL food: mostly vegetables, some fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, omega 3 oils, and whole grains.

3. Try to eat over 51% of your diet raw (not raw meat!)

Page 38: Change your food change your mood

Food specific

A handful of cashews equal one dose of prozac, without the suicidal ideation, spontaneous fractures & down regulation of your neurotransmitters.

Page 39: Change your food change your mood

Food specific

Vitamin C helps relieve depression:

Rich sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, peppers, strawberries, melons, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, and dark green vegetables.

Page 40: Change your food change your mood

Food specific

B vitamins are essential for normal brain function and a healthy nervous system: a deficiency of any one of which can cause depression.

Riboflavin, B2, is found in milk, yogurt, liver, and dark green leafy vegetables. Niacin, B3, is found in meat, tuna, peanuts, and whole grains. B6 is found in whole grains, fish, dark green vegetables, & beans.

Page 41: Change your food change your mood

Food specific

Zinc and chromium were also found low in one quarter of those individuals with depression.

Stress lowers zinc and raises copper which can contribute to agitation.

Zinc is calming and has been found to be decreased in bipolar patients.

A balance of zinc and copper is important.

Zinc is found in whole grains, split peas, and pecans. Chromium is vital in the regulation of blood sugar which is important in controlling mood swings. Good sources of chromium include whole wheat, potatoes.

Page 42: Change your food change your mood

Food specific

Omega 3s

Patients with depression had high levels of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-6 fatty acids are found in vegetable products like corn, safflower, and cottonseed oils

Omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish, walnuts, flax seeds, and soybeans. D

Deficient levels of the omega-3 fatty acid, EPA or eicosapentaenoic acid, were found in 40% of those reviewed. This fatty acid is a precursor to anti-inflammatory and will prevent exaggerated inflammatory response can also depress mood.

Page 43: Change your food change your mood

Food specific

Magnesium

Deficiency in those with depression.

Low magnesium can cause depression and insomnia, plus depression can lower magnesium.

One international study showed that higher rates of depression and suicide were seen in countries where magnesium is deficient in the diet.

Magnesium is found in whole wheat, dried beans, nuts, and collard greens (again, a dark green leafy vegetable).

Page 44: Change your food change your mood

Additional Considerations

1. Low glycemic diet 2. Test the thyroid3. Test the adrenals4. Food sensitivity testing5. Sunlight & Vitamin D6. Exercise (always comes out on top)

Page 45: Change your food change your mood

Closing thoughts

Change your food to change your mood

– Concern yourself with nutrient dense food– Stop being a patient, start being a person– ½ nutrition & ½ detoxification– Education not medication– Your choices will determine your output– Drugs don’t promote health– Bad mood is a failure to get enough vitamins, minerals

If you are malnourished, you should be depressed
