Natural methods to fight depression, with lightness
Hey you! We can no longer tolerate articles that are too serious about depression. We know that this is a sensitive subject, but we will try to present it with lightness and humor to put a smile on your face. So, hold on to your keyboard and get ready to discover these natural methods to help fight depression.
First, I discovered in my reading on the subject that it is possible to alleviate depression through diet. Which makes me say that what we put on our plate affects our brain.
Also, did you know that falling in love helps reduce depression?
But how do you feel in love and stay in a good mood?
So here are some pretty funny things to help us fight depression.
Fall in love
The love molecule, or more specifically one of the molecules that we find, in large quantities, in the brains of those who really feel good like when they are in love, is called phenylethylamine. It improves mood quickly. By eating nuts, lentils, peas, eggs, it helps us feel more in love...
Moreover, cocoa contains a lot of this love molecule. It's not for nothing that we associate chocolate with Valentine's Day, because cocoa contains several substances to keep you in a good mood.
On the other hand, love does not rhyme with heaviness.
And too much sugar in the chocolate brings all this digestive heaviness which is not necessary to truly feel in love!! So, let's choose to drink hot chocolate with as little sugar in it as possible. Like BLUES, a beverage of cocoa, ginger and maca. BLUES is excellent in oat milk, brings lots of benefits to keep you in a good mood!
Falling in love helps us keep our spirits up. By marveling at nature, animals, and accepting to fall in love with life, with its ups and downs. We develop more phenylethylamine which helps us keep our spirits up.
Reward yourself after an effort
Dopamine is considered the feel-good neurotransmitter, which affects the “pleasure” or reward hormone. So what's better than a little effort, a little challenge and then giving yourself a reward?
By doing sports, for example, the body will produce lots of dopamine for free, and it will reward you for your efforts!
Dopamine is produced from two amino acids, phenylalanine (the love hormone) and tyrosine. To allow good synthesis of dopamine, it is essential to have a diet sufficiently rich in tyrosine, such as almonds, sunflower seeds, tofu, avocado, banana, sesame seeds, soy, dark chocolate, etc.
The easiest thing for me is to drink TANGO . This drink contains dark cocoa which is rich in tyrosine, which allows me to have my boost of good mood and energy at the same time!
A plant that keeps us alive
Rhodiola acts by increasing resistance to stress. It helps reduce intellectual and physical fatigue. It has a protective effect on cells by limiting their degradation and death following stress. Because, when we are stressed, the body produces several toxins which degrade cells and create cell death. Rhodiola protects us and keeps our cells alive!
SAME, the substance that manages stress
SAME is a substance naturally produced by the body from certain amino acids. It is essential for the production and regulation of hormones and glutathione, and allows the proper functioning of the central nervous system.
Tsé the one who signals if there is stress, or an emergency to be resolved, well it is SAME who manages that!
Our friend SAME helps us fight depression
SAME works by increasing the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, which are essential for regulating mood. Several studies have shown that SAME is effective in improving symptoms of depression.
A deficiency in methionine, folic acid or vitamin B12 can lead to a reduction in the body's production of SAME.
But in what foods is methionine found?
Our friend SAME is hidden in nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and moringa.
Moreover, moringa contains 9 essential amino acids to build our body: histidine , isoleucine, leucine, valine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan.
