Three strategies that are essential any time you’re dealing with any type of depression are:
Increase high quality animal-based omega-3 fats – Your brain consists of about 60 percent fat; DHA specifically, so you need a constant input of essential omega-3 fats for your brain to work properly. The most beneficial source I know of is krill oil, which has been found to be 48 times more potent than fish oil.
Exercise – Physical exercise comes with a plethora of health benefits; one of them is improved mood control. In fact, it’s one of the most potent things you can do to prevent and treat depression.
Abstain from sugar – Sugar (and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is the number one source of calories in the U.S. in the form of soda) has a seriously detrimental impact on your brain function. There’s a great book on this subject, written by William Dufty more than 30 years ago, called The Sugar Blues, that delves into this topic in great detail.
