5 Foods to Beat Depression

I suffer from mood swings and I believe that the food we put into our body, help us cope with depression. I thought I would Google to see which foods come up as the best to beat depression – here they are

• Fish oils – Contain omega-3 fatty acids. Research has shown that depressed people often lack a fatty acid known as EPA. Participants in a 2002 study featured in the Archives of General Psychiatry took just a gram of fish oil each day and noticed a 50-percent decrease in symptoms such as anxiety, sleep disorders, unexplained feelings of sadness, suicidal thoughts, and decreased sex drive.
• Brown rice – Contains vitamins B1 and B3, and folic acid.
• Brewers Yeast – Contains vitamins B1, B2 and B3. Brewer’s yeast should be avoided if you do not tolerate yeast well, but if you do, mix a thimbleful into any smoothie for your daily dose.
• Whole Grain Oats – Contain folic acid, pantothenic acid and vitamins B6 and B1
• Cabbage – Contains vitamin C and folic acid. Cabbage protects against stress, infection and heart disease, as well as many types of cancers, according to the American Association for Cancer Research
