😕 (1) Alcohol
You may feel great in the short time while your drinking , but in the long term alcohol is a depressant and a perfect recipe for depression ! ( read above ink )
😕 (2) Caffeine
Although there's a lot of good things about coffee in moderation such as having antioxidants which can lessen a depression , caffeine can be a depressant mainly from a disruption of sleep as sleep quality is very important for regulating your mood ! ( read above link )
😕 (3) Refined Sugars
Yes all those goodies we find on the grocery shelf , from chocolate bars / cookies / Twinkies etc. To those Concentrated fruit juices ! You will love the sugar high for maybe 20 minutes , until your blood sugar drops ! Now your experiencing a "sugar hangover " That's going to lower your mood even more then it all ready was !

😕 (4) Hydrogenated Oils
This is quite often found in fast foods , and bad for your health in general ! because "hydrogenated oil is a trans fat that can contribute to Depression " While Olive Oil can actually cut your depression by an amazing 30% !! Wow , I better go buy some ! ( read above link )
😕 (5) Sodium
We all know that salt is bad for you and your heart ! And even though a lot of fat free foods may be good for you , they also contain a lot of salt which we don't often realize , then we put even more salt on ! " Excess salt will disrupt your neurological system contributing to Depression." ( Read above link )
😕 (6) Simple Carbohydrates
Yes your favorite pasta ! " Foods that are white (excluding colliflower ) Can intensify depression and anxiety !" as most white food contain simple carbohydrates , ( white bread , white rice , white pasta ) made with processed flour . "These types of foods trigger your body to release to much insulin which regulates your blood sugar , called ( insulin dumping ) . resulting in low blood sugar , mimicking depression and anxiety .

Depression is a sad phenomenon. Returning to a clean natural diet can help. Electrifying fruits, berries, and melons should help. Through in some herbal botanicals as well. Why? We want to heal those adrenal glands and parathyroid. Get the endocrine gland system utilization going. Clean the GI tract and fill your gut with healthy bacteria. The gut and mind are connected. Don't forget about the colon. My love goes out to all those with depression who need support and guidance. Much love :)
Thank you so much for your great comment ! And I agree the gut and mind truly are connected , and I should follow this and my own advice more often ! At least im trying , baby steps !! LOL! Steem on and stay healthy my friend , much love back !!❤👍👍👍💕
Thanks for sharing this info about depression!
I'm very aware of these foods can 'aggrivate' depression, I've studied it a lot, I have depression myself. But so many people may not be aware of this!
A health balanced diet is always good. Fruit and veg, meats and carbs (in moderation, carbs are good for energy but can turn to sugars/fats if not burnt up).
And I always recommend people to exercise and get the sun on your skin (vitamin D) too. :)
Thanks so much for your great reply ! And yes exercise and natural vitamin D from the sun is bennificial to all ! B12 too !! Steem on my friend !👍👍👍
