12 Foods That Fight Depression and Anxiety
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
- Here are some of the best foods to eat that fight depression and anxiety. Nutrition is one of the most overlooked aspects of mental health. However, food has a significant impact on our physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Sadly, if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or another type of mood disorder, it can be especially challenging to think about what you're eating.
This isn't to say that you need to overhaul your diet completely. But making minor dietary changes may help ease your symptoms, boost your mood, and improve the quality of your life.
While no food will miraculously cure depression, adopting a healthier diet rich in certain foods can certainly improve brain function and overall mental health.

This is all great advice, but the best remedy for depression and anxiety is still exercise. Any kind will work from a slow jog up to lifting weights. Most of the time, just getting out of the house works wonders but elevating your heart rate for 20 minutes or more will have a huge positive impact on your well-being.
Yes
I live doing yoga. It just makes me feel so much better in my body..it calms me down and I can't be anxious..it is the best way to start my day
@@erinloo8921 Very nice. Reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in school, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.
I suffer from depression are sure exercise will improve my depression or is this a hunch
@@bryantneely9122 exercise is well known to improve depression but when you are in deep depression it can be hard to exercise. I feel walking is one of the best things. Are you living somewhere where you could go walking everyday??
Changed up my diet a few months ago, eliminated coffee and all sugary drinks & cut back on fried foods…anxiety is gone. 🙏🏾
So what do you eat and drink now?I want to change my diet but its hard man.but I gotta have discipline.
I replaced coffee with tea over months ago, I feel overall improvement
I wish!
@@Amg13055 Eggs, bacon, mozzarella, brocoli wilted spinach with hummus, black beans, kidney beans, olives, fruits, veggies, full fat milk, cream or soy milk, green tea, water, tea no soda, onions, cut bread, full fat butter all the above enjoy grains have whole grains, only wholewheat bread if you have it and have anything you fancy in moderation after having a few days detox and a healthy few weeks eat less so you experience hunger and an occasional fast is also great for cognition.
Pizza can be pretty healthy too if its a stone baked thin base, wholewheat or a cauliflower crust lots of tomatoes, on tomato puree mozzarella shredded, garlic, black olives maybe even some bacon or steak.
Eating to lower your blood sugar and avoiding sugary stuff will help so much but you have to seriously have zero or minimal alcohol and not more than the guidelines suggest, as it really wrecks health and mental well being.
@@mb8kr Tea has theanine, catechins, polyphenol and antioxidants it's good for you but it Lee he's calcium from bones and nutrients like vit c so don't consume it with meals half an hour before or after food.
Tea drinkers who take it with or withour full fat milk have shown they develop less types of certain arthritis maybe osteoporosis.
But it's not good to drink it along with anything nutitious that you eat.
I wonder is that why they invented biscuits and cake! 🤣😋
I’m going to try this. Depression is awful. I need to do all I can to help myself.
In my experience, nutritional deficiency was the main cause of my depression. It was awful indeed. But you can get thru it. I haven’t watched this video yet, but in my research I found the most ‘cell friendly’ nutritional sources are from our edible weeds that grow for free in the forests. From the ground directly into your mouth- before the enzymes die off. No pesticides, nor chemical fertilizers, weren’t picked a month ago and stored in warehouses to be transferred hundreds of miles away, weren’t selectively bred over the past hundred years for size and taste at the cost of its nutritional content, and like I said are totally free.
So watching what you put into your body, highly nutritional plants, minimizing if not eliminating processed sugar, and what you allow into your ears. Be careful what you habitually watch on social media. Purposely start watching those ‘kindness’ videos.
Stay strong sweetie. You got this
How Are You Doing Now? I’m About To Try This As Well…
Same!
Has anyone tried nootropics?

By your photo, Vera, you look like a doll. Cute photo !!!
Journaling is also amazing for your mental health. It allows you to meditate, reflect, visually see any problem you're dealing with and solve it (like a math problem) and most importantly clear your head. I know it ain't food but just wanted to share. Wishing everyone healthy mental health 🥰
True 👍
I agree with you Curly - I started journaling over 10 years ago and it's helped me so much
I should go back to doing that and I like the foods list.
How do you journal?
Is it like a Dear diary type thing?
I have never grasped exactly how to journal.
Thank you
Write how you feel., why you feel that way(explain in detail, and 3 things u thankful for for the day-could be food, whatever..
☀️ helps me. Even a sun lamp and going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. And prayer 🙏!!!!

Thank you so much for the healthcare information. I really appreciate it.
I eat them all. But you should also spend time in the nature, if you can, get on the water, that's the best! That's how I recharge my batteries and stay happy. Something about the ocean that lifts my spirit... After spending a day on the water, fishing, cruising and swimming, I FEEL ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
Add to all of this , prayer 🙏 , and exercise. A prayer journal 📔.
My accessable are walnut ,apple ,oats,milk,curd,bean,leafy vegetables

@@brandonyoung4910 yup this is it.
@@brandonyoung4910 źf
All of these foods are in regular rotation, in my diet! Glad to know that I’m eating the best things, to help improve mood, and keep my brain healthy.
Walnuts instead of croutons in a green leafy salad with cherry tomatoes and berries in a bowl of oats. Gonna definitely rock these power house options
I really needed this… Good timing… Great wisdom… Thank you
Please go to the nearest plant store and get 2 or 3 bushes of Lemon Balm plant. Plant them in the back yard and every day eat a handful of the leaves. You will see the result s in 2 days.

Excellent video, thanks for trying helping others.
Don’t want to exit without leaving a few words of wisdom and strength to those that are going through rough and difficult time now…you are not alone!
“If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present”.
-Lao Tzu
It’s not that simple
@@dawnholland8663 …life it self it’s not simple or kind. One must be/get tough. You chose. You are the problem and the solution to your well-being.
Good luck.
Not a bad quote, I think it just lacks some parts of the chain reaction. "If you are depressed, you're living in the past; If you're living in the past, your awareness has been reduced; If your awareness has been reduced, your neural function is compromised; If your neural function is compromised, your homeostasis has been violated; If your homeostasis has been violated, you consumed something harmful or failed to consume something beneficial." That comes with the food especially. But usually it is a combination of bad food, external meanness (from people) and unsuitability for the chosen occupation (hobbies, studyings or jobs that you're not meant to will drain your happiness).
Easier said than done as you get older but we keep trying 💕🙏
@@carolferguson19 …nothing is giving to you on a silver platter, unless you’re rich (but I’m not here talking about economic status, of course).
Hard tasks were not meant for the weak in mind, body & spirit. Having faith also helps among those 3 things mentioned above…..so go ahead and just try. What do you have to lose?
PS: my mom is 93 y/o with stage 4 stomach cancer; she was supposed to depart from this planet 6 years ago, according to her oncologist, but she’s still fighting and NOT once she ever complained. She’s a very independent & tough Sicilian woman that does everything herself, because that’s the way she wants it. She wouldn’t have it any other way!
Thanks for your advice!!

Informative video. In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. Reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety.

What if breathing makes you anxious?
Avoid constipation! 😂
How does constipation affect the brain!?
@@skyninjaslayer337 The mind and the body are closely related and if there is a problem it leads to psychosomatic problems. Avoid going very deep into this issue. Experience it. Observe and feel the difference before and after having a smooth bowel movement. Also observe how stress and anxiety immediatly causes constipation. Best wishes. Counsellor.
@@shyaaammeneen63 Ik the gut and brain are very linked but I guess I don’t know how closely it is related
Thanks for the information blessed be.
just wanted to share a little FYI regarding the Dark Chocolate as it's not all the same..
In order to actually gain any benefits from eating Dark Chocolate it has to be 70% Cocoa or higher so make sure you don't buy regular dark chocolate bars as the rarely even contain cocoa which is the healthy ingredient they are talking about in this video.
Take Care oxo
Go the Lindt dark choc theres 75, 80, 85 and 90% Coco and its all so creamy and good for you🥰
@@daniellepearls6714 Thanks Danielle for those PEARLS OF WISDOM
@Shannon Matthews Amazing because I surely ate my semisweets as a candy bar last week that was the only choclate left Mmm mmm good lol
@Shannon Matthews Sound great
I was so depressed as a vegetarian that I faithfully ate my nuts and dark chocolate every day. But, the only thing the nuts did was make me bloated, since they're mainly indigestible. Chocolate did put me into a mini-fantasy world because it activates opioid receptors, so that was nice. But, it's also addictive,. plus the polyphenols block fat burning, which is the real way to beat depression. Also, both nuts and dark chocolate contain a lot of arginine, and arginine (versus lysine in fish, dairy, and meat) causes viruses, bacteria, and parasites to grow, which is linked to depression and anxiety. The only way I got out of depression was to eat an ancestral foods low carb/high fat diet-it feeds the brain, instead of feeding pathogens.
Lovely video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Depression and anxiety sucks, ANYONE HERE READING THIS “DONT EVER GIVE UP, THINGS WILL GET BETTER! BETTER DAYS ARE COMING, sending hugs to everyone who can use one right now 🫶
Anybody reading this go RUclips: are you a good person by living waters...watch the whole 5 min video it will literally cure your biggest problems if you apply the answer
Got it! Thanks!
Thank you for the positive comment!
Thank You Very Much!
I love berries...& walnuts..I eat them daily...still get down sometimes tho ...wonder what I'd be like without them then lol!! Thanks for info ...great site, love your work.
Great advice 👍👍👍 much appreciated 👍👍👍
Good information. Thanks 🍀🌿☘️👍👍👍💐
Glad to know I pretty much eat all of them . A few new things to add.
Thanks for sharing infos.
Very informative and helps me make better food choices
I love all the food you mentioned, thanks 😘🤗👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🤩
Several years ago was on a very low fat diet and ended up with very low mood. Now I eat avocados, nuts and seeds, olive oil (thought this would've been on the list), beans, spinach, in fact all the stuff on this list except mushrooms which I detest. I don't eat pasta, rice or wheat only small amount gluten free bread and white and sweet potatoes.
Oily fish like Sardines and salmon helped me. The experts say stabilise your blood sugar and your mood will stabilise also. I agree with this. The first thing to suffer if you don't eat the right foods is your brain/mood.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFORMATION GOD BLESS YOU
All the above ty for sharing this
Great info.
Excellent advice 👍 thanks 👍
Mouth watering. Thank you
I have been eating alot of the foods you have mentioned..thanks!!!!! Lucia 😊
This is so beneficial . Thank you so much !!!
Fighting to not succumb to being depressed again due to my repressed anger, stress and family trauma. Researching good nutritious foods to help out with that
Will you marry me
Be anxious for nothing, but let your worries come before God ,and he shall fill your heart ,
Have you heard of Ayahuasca?
@@ourworldisblessed93 hehe

Thank you so much!
THANK YOU !!!
Thnks for sharing it..An informative way of learning and guidance into a healthy lifestyle.m
ThNks for sharing
Awesome information 😁👍💯.
Sure, but in my experience, most people with depression have a hard time eating anything at all.
I've added blueberry kefir to my diet and I've already come off of one of my anti-depressants. I have also been recently incorporating all the foods mentioned and my doctor gave me the green light this weekend to go off the last anti-depressant. Your diet really does play a major role in your overall mental, emotional and physical health.
Gut health is most important. Poor gut healt also can cause autoimmune. I been study this and know i know what is what
I am working on getting off them right now. I am happy for you! I hate being "chained" to anything. :)
Hey do u have insta I need some informations I’m in a bad mood
Plz share yr food pattern
@@noorayesha9108 The majority of these foods can simply be added to a daily salad.
Great advice!
Hello Annette
Thank you!
Powerful message
Thank You.
Great..thanks !
Thank you
I love mushrooms I'll have to eat them all the time for my anxiety and depression
Regular mushrooms or Psilocybin?
Love them all thanks
I was always overweight since 8yrs old, I coped with food when I'm depressed, anxious which led to insomnia, which obviously led to obesity as lack of sleep raises cortisol and that makes u eat n crave junk. I have been battling this demon ever since and having my own family, I am working out, eating healthy, destressing myself, staying healthy to be here for my son, during my pregnancy I had diabetes and anemia which doesn't help. I am on a keto low carb diet because of this.
S tier yap
Blue Berries and plain yogurt is my favorite snack😋 not mixed already at the store
Thanks for this sharing
Good day! Mr. Brainy Dose. Very informative helpful tips to strenghthen our health to stay in good condition despite of sometimes we are facing difficulties.
Have a wonderful day!
Apple..nuts..avocado ..oats..all I love .thank you sharing
For me depression is a case of some days are better than others but I push through the bad ones like tomorrow is another day I like to eat apples mushrooms pumpkin seeds walnuts avocados for anxiety and my depression days they seem to help me loose that uptight feeling in my head I get with stressful situations sometimes I have no control over
Bible says be anxious for nothing but let your worries come before God and he will help
Great advice overall. Leafy greens are just as delicious as any other food. It's only people who don't know how to cook that think they're boring. Cooked the right way and they are delicious.
Exactly, I like green leafy vegetables if it's cooked the right way, even simple recipes of spinach is good, i like jute leaves
Thank you for this. At least I know what to binge eat when I have my snacks.
Yeah, I always buy dark chocolate! :)
It's interesting that walnuts look kind of like brains but also aid in brain health!
Thanks for sharing I have anxiety very bad I really love berries in leafy vegg in pumpkin seed
There have been times where I’ve been feeling a bit down. A handful of walnuts has an amazing effect on picking up my mood a couple of hours after eating them.
Thank you
I love nuts with sunflower seeds and pumpkin....
I love avocado, nuts, mushrooms green leafy and apples
Trying to always eat these fruits and vegs
Very informative and useful video from the standpoint of health.Great respect from Pakistan.

Thanx for sharing 🍄🍎🍏
Thank you for this video. I loved it, they are all my favourite foods😊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍
My body and mind function significantly better now that I'm regularly eating vegetables and eating less empty calories and sugar. Roasted veggies are a game changer - they taste SO GOOD and are so good for you!!
Keep it up
Thanks
Thank you for this am adding to my list of anti depressants ( not pills necessarily)
It is good to know that many of these foods are in my diet at this time. I can add others for best results.
If am starting to feel low I mix up some tinned sardines with half avocado and tsp ground linseeds, salt and pepper and some lemon juice. Have with some boiled potatoes or gluten free crackers. Then a cuppa tea and some dark chocolate and walnuts. Great!
❤ from Scotland
Thanks 🥰🥰
My favorite is walnuts wish I could find a walnut tree I ask my husband all the time but he forgets to them for me they so yummy I like mushrooms I like them all except the cherry tomatoes, I don't eat those. Thanks for the video great advice.
I've been suffering with both anxiety and depression all my life.
Eliminating dairy was the best thing I did for my health. I went whole food plant-based, but saw the best results after eschewing dairy. It had been poisoning me my entire life. I came off my inflammation and anti-depressent meds.
How about milk?thanks
Milk is a dairy product.
❤❤❤ i love all of these. I am not depressive❤
👍 I'm glad you mentioned blood sugar. When mine is low; I am miserable, mind races, can't sleep, hurt all over, etc. My mother was type 1 diabetic (brittle). She used candy (i.e. $100,000 bars - favorite) to raise her blood sugar. That doesn't work for me; makes me worse.
Thanks for the good advice.
Sounds like your hypoglycemic. Research it. You need a high protein diet with some complex carbs. Treat sugar like the plague as well as caffeine. When sugar enters your body your pancreas goes on overkill and brings your sugar level down. Everytime you do this, result is the same. Please research it. Good luck.
Also, your adrenal glands take a you know what kicking. Adrenals get overstressed.
Have you try natural brown unrefined sugar?
@@leconboy1061 that sugar is white sugar with black strap molasses and that's how it gets it's brown colour. Stevia is supposed to be neutral, does not affect spike in sugar level. Allegedly ok for both diabetes and hypoglycemia. I think if one is really sensitive, allergic to sugar, maybe the body treating it's sweetness the same as regular sugar. A hypoglycemic can go into a doughnut store and the smell alone could trigger a reaction.
@@republica7337 Thank you for your time sharing, so I should avoid all the sugar .
@@leconboy1061 yes, wether your hypoglycemic or not. Treat sugar like the plague. Your body will thank you. Try to do a 2 or 3 day fast. Once you come off it, ingest some sugar. See how you feel. See how your mind reacts to it. Even honey, I was told by my naturopath to stay clear of it, benefits and all. Actually as you come off your fast, eat a nice doughnut. See how you feel.
