Depression and Nutrition

The nervous system is directly connected to the gut and to the immune system; that is why issues affecting one system will also affect the others. In cases of mental disorders, it is important to support the gut and the immune system as well.

Eating a whole food diet can help you deal with your mental illness. Your diet should include plenty of vegetables, especially those rich in B vitamins (leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.), fruits (bananas, citrus, avocado, etc.), whole grains, legumes (beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, etc.), nuts and seeds (sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, almonds, etc.) and sea vegetables.

If you are not vegetarian, good sources of B12 vitamins are grass-fed beef and lamb, wild-caught cold-water fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, etc.), chicken and turkey, eggs, yogurt, etc. If you are vegetarian, nutritional yeast is probably the single best source of all B vitamins but you may also need to take a supplement.

At the same time, you should eliminate the consumption of sugars, processed foods, hydrogenated oils, and foods that cause you allergies.

It is also important to supplement with omega 3 fish oil and probiotics. Some adaptogenic herbs, such as ashwagandha, are also very helpful when dealing with issues like anxiety and depression. Vitamin C and magnesium may also be beneficial. There are many other supplements that can help depending on the mental disorder.

Lifestyle changes are usually required in order to reduce stress and depression. For example, deep breathing exercises can help reduce depression and taking a walk in nature can do wonders to improve your mood and help you relax.

Homeopathy and hypothyroidism

Homeopathic treatment for hypothyroidism and improving the life style

Do you feel tired, sleepy, moody want to kick out of the way things, craving for foods all the time, irritable and sometimes loosing control and sad frequently?

Maybe it is time to look at the thyroid functions and see how homeopathy can help.

Who controls the thyroids

The thyroid gland is controlled by the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. When thyroid hormone levels drop too low, the hypothalamus secretes TSH Releasing Hormone, which alerts the pituitary to produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The thyroid responds by producing more hormones.

There are two main hormones your thyroid gland produces, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and these two hormones affect every cell in your body.

What does an overactive thyroid do to your body? The thyroid manufactures and releases more hormones than your body needs, which can then cause a large variety of unpleasant symptoms.

What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism?

The new symptoms indicate derailing from a healthy state to a sick state. These symptoms could be

Unintentional weight loss or weight increase

Increased appetite

Nervousness, anxiety and irritability

Increased sensitivity to heat

More frequent bowel movements

An enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), which may appear as a swelling at the base of your neck

Fatigue and muscle weakness

Trouble sleeping

Menstrual cycle changes

How can homeopathy help?

There are many remedies. As you are not the same person as others, the consultation will focus on understanding who you are and how you feel your symptoms. What make you to feel better and what triggers your symptoms that make you feel bad.

For example, Calcarea Carb. fits a person with a lot of fears and wants isolation to be alone. It helps when there is a weight increase constipation and profuse menses due to thyroid problems

Natrum Muriaticum is a remedy prepared from table salt. It fit a person that is sad, depressed, frequent fatigue, hair related issues, crying often.

Sepia is the cousin of Nat-M. It fit a person with very strong character, a lot of menstrual problems. Sepia is a person that is very active to a state of being overworked and therefore at some point the body brakes into a halt.

And there are more remedies to consider. As you see, it is very important that you share with the homeopath who you are so a proper remedy can be chosen for you as an unique individual.

The importance of Omega 3 and Omega 6

Why is Omega 3 important?

Omega 3 acts as an anti inflammatory agent, and also helps the mobility of all the cells in the body by acting as a lubricant.

Omega 3 is one of the polyunsaturated fats that are essential to our health. Other polyunsaturated fats are omega 6, omega 9 and more.

Omega 3 has two main components; the EPA and the DHA.

Researchers agree that it is most beneficial to introduce to our diet the omega 3 with both the EPA and the DHA components together and not separately.

How is the EPA and the DHA in Omega 3 made?

Our diet needs to include some omega 6. Omega 6 will be essential for the production of omega 3.

The omega 6 fatty acid, when in the liver, will get elongated with more carbon molecules. This new molecule will be elongated again, in he liver, to become EPA.

The liver will metabolize the EPA and then DHA will be created.

Studies found that DHA does not convert to EPA.

Where in the body we can find EPA and DHA?

The brain and the retina are rich in DHA, but these organs do not contain EPA.

Anywhere in the body we can find the EPA that will help us with many bodily functions.

Where can we get healthy sources of Omega 6?

We can find omega 6 in various whole foods and oils, i.e., Sunflower, safflower, soybean, corn, and more.

In order to reduce the oils costs, these oils became less pure comparing to their quality of many years ago, and as such be used by the food industry in all the aspects of producing packaged foods and cooking in restaurants.

I use whole foods containing omega 6, for instance sunflower seeds, avocado, walnuts and such, peanut butter, eggs and many more. I do not recommend using the oils mentioned above.

Where can we get healthy sources of Omega 3?

There is plenty of omega 3 in wild caught fish like sardines, salmon, cod liver, herring and other fatty fish.

Other good sources are cashews, almonds, walnut, chia, flaxseeds and many more.

Examples of diseases that Omega 3 can prevent or assist in curing.

Triglycerides – May lower the level with increasing EPA.

EPA reduces inflammation by creating a molecule by the name resolvents. In one example, EPA can help with arthritis disease by reducing the inflammation and therefore reducing the pain.

When EPA goes into the membranes, it improves the fluidity and therefore the metabolism will run smoothly.

Our neurons must be lubricated at all times. This is the basic consideration to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

EPA can control the heart rate.

Bleeding – EPA makes the platelets not to be too sticky and therefore clogs might be prevented. This will result in prevention of heart attacks.

Pulmonary diseases, overall improve the immune system and more.

Nutrition and Nourishment

Why do we need nutrition and how it relates to nourishment?

Nutrition and nourishment is an essential activity we need order to be in good health.

Where does nutrition start from?

Nutrition starts in the mouth, but unfortunately nourishment does not end in only the foods we eat.
Nourishment also relates to what our eyes see, what we smell, what we hear and what we touch.
We can choose what foods to eat, but most of the time we cannot choose what our senses receive. These signals received by our senses will eventually nourish our mind.
Bad nutrition can affect us in a short or long term. We can get stomachache, diarrhea, etc. and after a few days the body heals itself.
The nourishment that we receive from our senses goes straight to our mind. Once this information is received it stays in the mind and it is very difficult to get it out, and in times this information will pop up again.
Therefore, don’t think about nutrition as the only nourishment the body needs, but rather think that nutrition is what the body and soul needs on the daily basis.

Is our mind related to our gut nourishment?

Mind issues are a serious matter that should not be left untreated for too long, neither its importance be diminished since the mind and the body is one organism and must kept healthy as individually and together.
Unhealthy mind can lead to improper metabolism, cravings unhealthy foods, cravings bad habits, increase or sudden weight changes and more.
If you experience skin issues, most likely that the symptoms are related to a gut malfunctioning that can be linked to the mind not functioning properly.
