9 nutrients to help with depression

A few years ago, Indian researchers at JSS Medical College and Central Food Technological Research Institute published an article in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry outlining the connection between nutrition and depression.

The researchers highlighted that while the general public accept the connection between nutrition and physical health, ignorance still abounds when connecting nutrition and mental health.

However, nutrition plays a key role in the onset, severity, and duration of depression. In fact, as the researchers wrote, “many of the easily noticeable food patterns that precede depression are the same as those that occur during depression.”

The researchers go on to say “that daily supplements of vital nutrients” have been effective in reducing symptoms of mental disorders, such as depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, and OCD. “On the basis of accumulating scientific evidence, an effective therapeutic intervention is emerging, namely nutritional supplement/treatment.”

Further on in the article, the researchers outline several core nutrients (macro and micro) necessary to promote optimal brain function:

Why take a broad-spectrum amino acid blend?

Amino acids are the building blocks of our body; more specifically, they build our neurotransmitters, messengers of that communicate neurologic information from one cell to another.

Let’s take the neurotransmitter serotonin. During the day, serotonin is your feel good “happy” molecule. At night, it turns into melatonin so you can experience a deep and restful sleep. To produce serotonin, you need sufficient levels of L-tryptophan.  Serotonin is a calming neurotransmitter and can act as antidepressant to reduce depression.

Dopamine is another neurotransmitter,

Vitamins and minerals are important co-factors supporting energy metabolism and well-being. They are part of the micronutrient family (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids), which plays a role in virtually every biological, chemical, and physiological process in our bodies.

Mitochondria exist in every cell of our body and are often referred to as the “powerhouse” of the cell. They generate energy in the form of a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Here are some examples of how vitamins and minerals function in energy metabolism:

  • Riboflavin (B2) as a cofactor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain helps release energy from foods.

Don’t use the end of Daylight Saving Time to skimp on sleep

The end of Daylight Saving Time is this weekend. Well, at least for this year.

While most of the negative press surrounding Daylight Saving Time appears to occur in the spring, there are some concerns in the autumn, too. Most of us tend to use the switch to standard time as an excuse for poor sleeping practices. After all, we get an extra hour of sleep. It’s still a great time to remember good sleeping habits.

We all know that getting a good night’s sleep is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Do I have seasonal affective disorder?

The September equinox took place last month. In the northern hemisphere, this marks the first day of autumn. It also marks the day when the amount of daylight and the amount of darkness are equal. As has become apparent to most people by now, the amount of darkness each day is overshadowing (no pun intended) the amount of daylight.

While many people are negatively affected by the reduction in daylight—making them feel gloomy—as much as 3% of the population has seasonal affective disorder.
