The Classic Symptoms of Depression that we intend to address in this section, with the Healthiest Food for the brain.
Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Poor concentration
Loss of energy – fatigue
Occasional suicidal thoughts
Loss or increase in appetite and weight
Disturbed sleep pattern
Slowing down – physically and mentally
Agitation –Restlessness Anxiety
Do you have these symptoms? They can be managed by many strategies. The most basic is optimum nutrition. You don’t expect to have a healthy body if you do not eat properly. The same is true of the mind.
We will use the Book to give you Lists of the most useful foods and their nutrient content. If you do not eat a sufficiently varied diet that follows this pattern, there will also be a list of products that can be used to supplement your own eating pattern. We will endeavour to offer all these positives, including recipes to contain these foods, but also give a list of additives and preservatives that ought to be avoided.
