The foods you are eating play a big role in how you feel both physically and emotionally. We are going to explore the best foods to eat to help depression and learn about the foods that can leave you feeling down in the dumps.
\u201cThe Weight Loss Champion\u201d Chuck Carroll and Dr. Neal Barnard are joined by Kim Diez who experienced first-hand the connection between food and mood. Kim tried seemingly everything but nothing, including medication, was able to bring her out of the dark place she resided mentally. At one point she even contemplated death.
But when she finally adjusted her diet, the crippling depression that had been controlling her life finally went away.
Dr. Barnard explains the science of how food can affect hormones and mental health. He also reveals the foods that can trigger depression.
Chuck also shares his own experiences with depression and how his mental state improved once he stopped eating a high-fat diet.
Plus, Lindsay Nixon shares a recipe for breakfast tacos that is sure to brighten anyone\u2019s day! It\u2019s the first dish on the daily menu from Dr. Barnard\u2019s book Your Body In Balance.
