Our feel good nutrition plan works by feeding your brain quality levels of tryptophan, a naturally occurring amino acid found in certain foods which is a precursor for a feel good neurotransmitter called serotonin
Feel Good Diet Plan and Tryptophan
Tryptophan is in many protein rich foods such as meat, fish, beans and eggs. Simply not getting enough tryptophan in your day to day diet is likely to make you depressed; Studies have shown that people fed a diet deficient in tryptophan became rapidly depressed within hours.
Refined sugar and refined carbohydrates (white bread, white pasta, white rice and most processed foods,) are also linked with depression because these foods not only supply very little in the way of nutrients but they also use up the mood enhancing B vitamins; Conversely brown wholegrain foods, especially short grain brown rice is abundant in health sustaining vitamins, proteins and nutrients
Refined sugar also negatively impacts on chromium function. This mineral is vital for keeping your blood sugar level stable because insulin, which clears glucose from the blood, can’t work properly without it.
The feel good nutrition plan is based around 4 ‘Rice Rich Meals’ which contain natural nutrients that boost your moods and also helps busy people with busy lives stay on the plan as you can cook in advance. The feel good nutrition plan is also abundant in wonderful superfoods high in B vitamins and chromium to help balance blood sugar levels and to help boost your energy too.
Depression can be triggered by something stressful, such as a bereavement, redundancy, or break up of a relationship. Low self esteem and lack of social support can also be a major cause of depression. So a multi-faceted approach with counselling or psychotherapy as well as nutritional approaches is strongly recommended. Exercise is also scientifically proven to make a big difference. Whilst on this nutrition plan a brisk walk 15 minutes a day can help it to boost your moods.
Note: If you are taking medication or have any medical conditions speak to your doctor before you undertake any diet plan, you might also find it very benificial to see a nutritional therapist.
