We all know having a good diet, getting plenty of rest and exercise all play a key part in us feeling better. In the past 3 weeks I have been doing this, and after 30 years of struggling with severe depression, I can say this is the only thing that has ever really made a difference to the way I feel. I started to feel lighter, more positive and clear headed only a matter of days after starting this. It's not hard....it's just good healthy eating and nothing artificial. Get these foods on board as often as possible: blueberries, spinach, walnuts, bean sprouts, Brussels sprouts, avocado, apricots, coriander, coconut oil, kale. hemp seed. Keep the rest of your diet clean (i.e. no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, additives of any kind...especially foods with MSG (this is one of the worst things you can have). If you can afford to buy organic, then do so. The more organic the better. I live in a small town where there is only a limited amount of organic products. I just buy the best quality I can. such as organic coconut oil, free range chicken and eggs and quality meat. My fruit and vegetable aren't organic either, but I still feel so much better for eating this way. TOTALLY oid refined white sugar. You can buy a product in the health food isle, which is a syrup made from rice, which you can use to sweeten your coffee and tea...limit the amount of coffee and tea to 2 or 3 a day. I eat a teaspoon of this syrup occasionally, when I feel like something sweet (not too often though!!). Also, drink a good quality spring water, preferably in glass bottles...there is one brand available in a box that has non toxic, BPA free packaging, this is a very economical way to buy your water. Bread, there are some brands without anything artificial. There is one I buy, but you'll have to look around for that yourself. It is available in most supermarkets! Olive oil....cook with it, make salad dressings (there are recipes online for healthy salad dressings). I mix it with apple cider vinegar and dip my healthy bread into it. Something else I have done for a while now is take Magnesium...it is great for almost every metabolic process in the body and most of us a deficient in it. It is fantastic for relaxing and calming you, without any drowsiness. I wouldn't be without out it. I would love to hear how you go if any of you try this. Good luck!!
