 Foods That Cause Depression (Lifestyle Lounge)

 Till now, we believed psychological disturbances to be the main reason behind depression. At the same time, food items, at least some of them, were considered to be one of the tools that help fight depression. However, it is now being noticed that certain types of food, if consumed in excess, can create the feeling of depression in an individual. The reason for this is the fact that certain type of foods are low in cholesterol, sugars and fat, at the same time being high in protein. This combination leads to low production of serotonin, ‘the happy-maker' neurotransmitter, and in turn, makes you feel depressed. In the following lines, we have provided a list of foods responsible for causing depression. Try to consume these food items in moderation and compensate the loss with other foods.
 
Foods That Cause Depression

Alcohol

Alcohol is not only injurious to the liver, but also to the overall health. It triggers depression too. Therefore, consumption of alcoholic drinks is strictly not recommended for those who are the victim of depression and related disorders.

Stimulants

 Stimulants might give you instant energy, but beware; they may any time become a root cause for the condition of depression. High-caffeine intake triggers anxiety, depression and insomnia too. Therefore, tea and coffee should be had in moderation, if you want to stay away from depression.

Processed Foods

Processed foods are a strict no-no, if you are suffering from anxiety related disorders and sleeplessness, because such foods might trigger depression. Heavily processed foods are laden with sodium, which adds to depression. Therefore, fast food, canned food and pre-packaged dehydrated food should not be consumed. Stay away from white bread, pasta (made with eggs), white rice, and other similar foods.

Foods Blocking Serotonin & Selenium

 Low levels of serotonin can lead to a chemical imbalance in the brain, thereby causing depression. And if you are already suffering from bouts of depression, then it is recommended that you prevent consuming foods that are likely to block serotonin levels. Unhappy feelings are also caused due to the low level of selenium, lack of folic acid being a major factor for depression. 

 Junk Food

 Researches indicate that consumption of junk food is more likely to cause depression compared to people who eat healthy foods. Sweetened desserts, chocolates, fried food, processed meat, refined grains, high-fat dairy products, and condiments are some foods that trigger depression, when consumed for prolonged periods.

Modern Foods

Diet of a person is known to show a strong association with depression. What people preferred to eat some fifty years back, have now been replaced with an altogether different list of food items. While the diet of people in old days included natural sources of omega-3, the present generation has replaced them with foods containing high levels of omega-6. That, however, doesn’t by any way means to cut short on omega-6 food in the diet. It, instead, means that a reduction in the consumption of omega-3 foods is another cause for increased levels of depression.

To prevent yourself from getting depressed and tensed too often, keep away from these foods and switch to healthy eating for a happier life.

Foods That Help Cope With Anxiety And Depression
(LIVESTRONG.COM)
It is normal for a person to go through low points on and off as this is part of the body’s normal bio-rhythm. However, if you are an emotional yo-yo, it’s time for you to take a look at your lifestyle and diet. There are many triggers that could be behind depression and anxiety attacks. While extreme mood swings and depression could call for medical attention and therapy, there are often times that the food we eat has a bearing on our behavior and what we feel. The good news is that there are ways to stabilize moods by choosing foods that fight anxiety and depression. The brain produces a chemical called serotonin, which has a calming effect on your nervous system and body. Therefore, it is important to have good nutrition in order to fight anxiety and depression.
 Foods That Fight Anxiety And Depression

 Carbohydrates

 Carbohydrates are linked very strongly to production of serotonin. Therefore, increase your intake of foods rich in carbohydrates. Foods rich in carbohydrates are yam, potatoes, wheat, rice and other cereals and starchy roots. However, keep in mind that there are some people who get more depressed after consuming white rice. So monitor your food consumption and your moods.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is a good source of selenium (an antioxidant mineral), which helps soothe the body. Some foods that are rich in Vitamin B6 are poultry food, groundnuts, beans, peas, fish, eggs, and dark green vegetables.

Vitamin C

Folate plays a huge role in the production of serotonin and Vitamin C is a good source of this. Foods rich in vitamin C include spinach, peas, legumes, oranges and other citrus fruits, However, be careful not to overdo on the Vitamin C, since excess consumption has an adverse effect on the body.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, a low level of which can lead to heightened anxiety and depression. Foods rich in Vitamin E include oils such as canola oil (use with moderation since it is high in fat), chickpeas, wheat germ, oats, green leafy vegetables, sprouted beans, egg yolks, seeds and nuts.

Food Rich In Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids help prevent heart diseases, stroke and cancers, apart from stabilizing mood swings. Salmon and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and contain selenium. Other sources of omega-3 fatty acids are seeds, nuts and flax oils.

Fluid Intake

Water is the most important thing that you can take in that will help alleviate depression and anxiety. When your body is dehydrated, your body is affected in many ways, ranging from problems with liver functionality as well as brain impairment. Do not try to substitute your water intake with coffee, tea or soft drinks since they themselves need to be flushed out of your system by water. Also, they have side effects that are not very pleasant.
