Wellspiration 5 - Lifting Depression with NutritionYafa Sakkejha
This document discusses how depression can be lifted through nutrition and exercise without medication. It outlines various signs of depression and potential causes such as life stress, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances. Low serotonin levels are linked to depression, and certain foods like sugar can cause serotonin crashes and cravings that worsen symptoms. Supplementing nutrients that support neurotransmitters like vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids can help lift depression. Lifestyle habits like a whole foods diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management are also recommended beyond supplementation alone.
This document discusses the relationship between depression and diet. It begins by defining depression and listing common symptoms. It then explains that when people are depressed, they often eat unhealthy foods high in saturated fat, sugar, and caffeine to cope, which can worsen their mood. The document recommends avoiding caffeine, sugar, alcohol, and drugs, and instead eating lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables to stabilize blood sugar. Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium from foods like fish, nuts, and leafy greens may also help manage depression symptoms. In conclusion, maintaining a balanced diet can elevate mood and energy when feeling depressed.

Natwest Wellbeing Wednesday: The power of nutrition with Eat Better with BrionyBriony Phillips
A session to help entrepreneurs think about food can help them to feel better and to consider what they can do to support themselves through stressful times. Run on Wednesday 16 Dec 2020 as part of my work at Eat Better with Briony (www.eatbetterwithbriony.co.uk
1) Nutritional factors are intertwined with human cognition, behavior, and emotions. Carbohydrates and proteins can impact neurotransmitter levels in the brain and affect mood, while omega-3 fatty acids also play a role in preventing depression.
2) Studies have shown associations between chocolate consumption and reduced depressive symptoms, while exercise can reduce stress, fatigue and improve cognitive function and reduce anxiety.
3) For some people, highly palatable foods can activate the brain's reward centers in the same way as addictive drugs, leading to issues with compulsive overeating and food addiction.
In this informative webinar, with expert nutritionist Dr Nina Bailey, you will learn about how we can optimise our diet to help manage depressive symptoms:
- Foods the brain needs to function: what we should be eating
- Foods that starve the brain of nutrients: what foods we really need to avoid
- Food, mood and money: how to eat well on a budget
- Supplements: the best nutrients for depression, backed up by science
By making some relatively simple dietary changes that may, in some cases, include the use of dietary supplements, it is possible to see significant improvement in symptoms.

This document discusses the link between depression and diet. It outlines several dietary factors that can cause or contribute to depression, including low intake of carbohydrates, proteins, essential fatty acids, and certain vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrate-rich foods help produce mood-regulating neurotransmitters, while skipping meals and dominant cravings for sweets are linked to depression. The document provides food sources for vitamins and minerals shown to impact mood, such as B vitamins, iron, selenium and zinc. Maintaining a healthy, varied diet is recommended to prevent depression.

The document discusses the importance of diet and nutrition in mental health. It explains that certain nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B and D, and minerals can impact conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more. It recommends diets like the Mediterranean diet and MIND diet to support mental health and outlines foods and nutrients to include or avoid for certain mental illnesses.
This document seeks to correct several common misconceptions about diabetes by providing accurate information. It explains that while diet and weight play a role in diabetes risk, genetics and other factors also contribute. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can be serious if blood sugar is not controlled, but effective management of the disease through diet, medication, exercise and monitoring can help prevent complications and allow people to live healthy lives. Certain foods like fruits and sweets can be included in moderation.
There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is juvenile diabetes requiring insulin, while Type 2 is adult onset and can be managed through lifestyle changes. Obesity, inactivity, and stress are leading causes of diabetes and its complications like blindness, kidney failure, and heart disease. Managing diabetes involves lifestyle modifications like changes to diet, exercise including yoga, and reducing cholesterol and stress levels. Specific yoga poses are recommended to help control diabetes and prevent related issues.
Diabetes is a chronic illness that can lead to serious and often fatal complications,including cardiovascular problems, amputations, coma and blindness. Recently,Canadian researchers determined that the life expectancy of diabetics was on average 13 years less than that of non-diabetics.
This short presentation lists nutrients critical for alertness, memory, cognition and mood and provides examples of foods which contain high concentrations of such nutrients.
The document discusses the myths and facts about diabetes diets. It explains that diabetics do not need to strictly cut out all sweets and enjoyments, but rather can incorporate moderation and make substitutes. A diabetic diet is generally the same as a healthy diet, based on whole grains, vegetables, fruits and moderate fat, salt and sugar. With the right information about balanced nutrition and lifestyle, one need not feel they must radically change their life due to a diabetes diagnosis.
This document discusses the role of vitamins in psychiatry. It begins with an overview of how nutrition plays a key role in brain health and the link between nutrition and mental health. It then classifies and describes the 9 water soluble vitamins (B vitamins and vitamin C) and 4 fat soluble vitamins, explaining their roles in brain functioning and common deficiencies. Specific vitamins discussed in more depth include thiamine, niacin, folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin C. The document explains how deficiencies in these vitamins can impact psychiatric manifestations and neurological processes.
This document discusses strategies for managing blood sugar levels for those with diabetes or pre-diabetes. It recommends reducing after-meal spikes in blood sugar by slowing the absorption of glucose from foods. It emphasizes choosing complex carbohydrates and fiber-rich foods over refined sugars and processed carbs. It also stresses the importance of optimal nutrient intake to support insulin function and sensitivity. Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle can help prevent nutritional and oxidative stress on the body.
This document discusses lifestyle changes and diet for controlling diabetes. It recommends eating a diet low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium, and high in healthy carbohydrates, fiber-rich foods, and heart-healthy fish. Specific lifestyle changes include maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise, being physically active for 30 minutes per day, managing stress, getting proper immunizations and medical care, paying attention to foot health, drinking alcohol in moderation, stopping smoking, and making regular doctor visits. The overall goal is to control blood sugar levels through a nutritious diet, weight management, exercise, and healthy lifestyle habits to reduce diabetes complications.
Mood is a relatively long-lasting emotional state that differs from acute emotions in being less intense and specific. Moods typically have a positive or negative valence, so people describe being in a good or bad mood. Unlike emotions, moods can last for hours or days. Long-term disturbances of mood are considered mood disorders like depression or bipolar disorder.
This document discusses lifestyle diseases and their management. It defines lifestyle diseases as health problems caused by unhealthy behaviors and certain risk factors. The main causes are poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and genetic factors. Some major lifestyle diseases covered are cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, and musculoskeletal disorders. For each disease, the document discusses symptoms, causes, prevention methods, and lifestyle changes that can help manage the diseases. The key message is that maintaining a healthy lifestyle through good nutrition, exercise, managing stress, avoiding risky behaviors, and getting sufficient sleep/rest can help prevent and manage many lifestyle diseases.
According to surveys, 61% of Americans reported unwanted weight changes since the start of the pandemic, with 42% gaining an average of 29 pounds and almost 10% gaining over 50 pounds, while 18% lost an average of 26 pounds. Stress is likely the main cause, as stress levels were high during the pandemic and the stress response can disrupt eating habits and motivation. When stressed, the body produces hormones that make high-calorie foods more appealing for comfort eating but decrease motivation for exercise and healthy eating. Stress can also slow digestion through the vagus nerve, leading to weight loss. The pandemic left many people bored and eating at home more, which combined with stress, created conditions for unwanted weight changes.
This document discusses lifestyle modifications and associated health problems. It covers behaviours like diet, smoking, alcohol and drug use, and lack of physical activity. It also discusses material factors like environmental pollution and physiological factors like stress. Specific unhealthy diets, smoking, alcohol and drug use are explained along with their short and long term health effects. Preventive measures are suggested to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid associated health issues.
Dr. Patrick Garrett is a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist who specializes in using lifestyle and dietary changes to reverse chronic health conditions. He believes that food can have a significant impact on mood, citing studies that have found many people with depression to be deficient in vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients found in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Specific mood-boosting foods he recommends include cashews, citrus fruits, dark leafy greens, fatty fish and foods containing zinc, magnesium and B vitamins. His message is that making healthy dietary choices focused on nutrient-dense, whole foods can help improve mood and mental wellbeing.
This document provides dos and don'ts for managing diabetes. The dos include getting educated about diabetes, monitoring blood sugar levels, taking medicines as prescribed, eating small frequent meals including fiber-rich foods, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising regularly. The don'ts are to avoid smoking, fasting or overeating, consuming sweets and refined carbs, drinking more than 2 cups of coffee per day, eating fried or salty foods, and missing exercise routines. People with diabetes are encouraged to contact the organization for any additional questions or information.

The document also notes the importance of addressing psychological stress through positive thinking and relaxation.
This document discusses the effect of nutrition on mental health. It notes that recent studies have shown links between diet quality and mental disorders like depression and anxiety. Certain macronutrients and micronutrients can impact mood, brain development and neurotransmitters. A balanced diet with adequate carbohydrates, proteins, fats, iron, selenium and iodine is important. However, dietary changes alone may not be sufficient to treat mental health issues and medical advice should be sought.
The document provides information from a pharmacist to educate patients on various health conditions and diseases. It discusses obesity, asthma, smoking, psoriasis, and hypertension. For each condition, it defines what it is, symptoms, risks, treatment options, lifestyle adjustments, and advice for patients from the pharmacist.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

not be a regular headache that requires pain killers, but the diagnosis of a Migraine
headache.
WHAT CAUSES MIGRAINES?
Migraines are caused by excessive dilation of a blood vessel in the head. Genetic disposition is
usually suspected, including a number of “trigger factors” that can set off a headache.
Some of these triggers are:
1. Drug interactions - withdrawal or rebound headache
2. Food allergies and intolerances
3. Emotional or physical stress
4. Sleep disturbances
5. Cigarette smoke
6. Hormonal changes
7. Lights and odors
Depending on the nature of the headache, migraines are classified into common,
classic or complicated.
FOODS TO AVOID
Many people with migraine are not aware that their headaches may be due to certain
food intolerances. Some foods that can precipitate an attack are:
1. Chocolate and nuts
2. Cheese,
3. Beer, Wine, especially Red,
4. MSG (Monosodium Glutamate),
5. Aspartame - artificial sweetener,
6. Food coloring agents like hydrazine dyes ( yellow color),
7. Coffee or caffeine products,
8. Cow’s milk,
9. Smoke ,
10. Pressed meats like sausages, ham etc.

2. LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Exercising everyday increases endorphins in the body which elevate mood and
health.
2. Reduce animal fats like butter and lard while increasing vegetable and fish oils.
3. Increase intake of vegetables and fruits for their Vitamin C and Magnesium
content.
4. Get yourself checked for food allergies and avoid those trigger foods.
5. Manage your stress ( yoga, music, deep breathing etc.)
6. Quit smoking.
7. Maintain a regular sleep pattern
8. Put yourself first at least once a day!
SUPPLEMENTS THAT CAN HELP
Individuals under a physician’s care should seek the advice of their physician before
taking nutritional supplements or beginning a new exercise program.
Ÿ Magnesium: 250-400mg three times / day
Vitamin B6: 25mg three times / day
5 - HTP (Hydroxytryptophan) :100-200mg three times/day.
BOTANICAL MEDICINES
Ÿ Feverfew herb : 0.25-0.5 mg twice daily
Ÿ Ginger : fresh ginger 10g / day.
PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND DRUGS
Many forms of physical medicine have been used to treat migraine headache. While
they may not reduce the frequency of attacks, they do reduce the intensity and duration
of an attack.
Some methods that can be used as Alternative Medicine are:
1. Acupuncture
2. Cervical manipulation
3. Biofeedback and relaxation therapy
4. Homeopathy
Almost all drugs prescribed for a migraine headache have side effects that can create
more problems with long term use. None of them, (including the prophylactic
medications) have found to be 100% effective. Research reveals that even the over the
counter medications (like aspirin) can cause rebound headaches, while withdrawal from
these medications results in prompt improvement.
