Mehwish Faheem 22 July How can Nutrition Help Fight Depression and Boost Mood and the Correlation between Them Is depression psychological or biochemical process? Best treatment of depression is counseling or medication? Do people suffering with depression have poor diet? Does tea, coffee, chocolate or your favorite ice cream boost your mood? Are the cases of depression increasing in U.K and USA than China and Japan? Does every time the depressant person responds to the anti-depressant medicines? There is a link between depression and nutrition, a very strong indeed. The answers of above questionnaire reveal the fact that depression is a biochemical process, most of the people suffering with depression start to neglect their diet as a result the symptoms becomes severe. Most of them think that eating their favorite food or ice cream uplift their mood. Cases of depressions are increasing in U.K and USA and some time best medicines can’t cure properly. Why is it so? Researchers at Harvard University found that person with Vitamin B deficiency did not respond to the anti-depressant. This Vitamin is present in green leafy vegetables, grains and beans. If the diet rich in vegetables is taken, the chances of depression reduce. Moreover the cases of depression in USA are increasing rapidly then China. Again the factor behind this is nutrition, Chinese consume large amount of fish and fish like salmon and sardines are considered rich source of ‘Omega-3-fatty acids’. This fatty acid is consumed by the brain to stays healthy. It is scientifically proved fact that brain uses its energy requirements from blood glucose. If the glucose level is not balanced, the person is likely to suffer with apathy, depression. Certain amino acids are required for production of serotonin that influences mood, and adrenalin, dopamine that influence motivation. Salmon, tuna, snapper, shrimps soya bean n turkey are rich sources of tryptophan. Protein rich food like poultry, pork, cheese, eggs and artificial sweetener aspartame has high phenylalanine. Unhealthy junk food cause serious fluctuation in serotonin level, eventually causing depression. Reference Wong Cathy “Natural and herb remedies for depression” Altmedicine.about.com. 26 Oct 2007.
