Stop Eating Inflammatory Foods to Get Rid Of Depression

Stop eating inflammatory foods to get rid of your depression. The consumption of inflammatory foods is a major reason for the development of depression.

Yes our perception of things can cause of to feel depressed when we want to have things be a certain but don’t have the power to make things be that way. But this is only part of the story.

Even under these conditions, if you are extremely energized and your body is in a state of homeostasis it will be difficult to be or stayed depressed. Your energy level would push you to continue to find ways to overcome your obstacles.

So the condition of your body plays a very important role in becoming or staying depressed, and inflammation is the primary culprit. Science has proved that inflammation causes depression by simply analyzing people’s reactions to taking pro-inflammatory drugs.

Administering pro-inflammatory cytokines drugs like interferon to combat cancer and chronic infections often results in fatigue, loss of appetite, and difficulty sleeping, and also symptoms of major depression that include, feelings of being worthless and suicidal thoughts.^[1]

The Western diet promotes the consumption of pro-inflammatory foods, which include soda, refined grains, and meat that keep people in a state of chronic inflammation^[2] and promotes widespread depression.

Depression effects more than 150 million throughout the world and is a leading cause of losing healthy years of life as a result of disability.^[3][4]

Depression appears be a useful evolutionary process that helps to stop the spread of occasional infections, but staying in a state of chronic inflammation continues that state of depression indefinitely when it should only be temporary.

When we become infected the body sends out pro-inflammatory cytokines to fight the infection. The release of these cytokines sets of a chain of reactions that can cause fever, weakness, impaired thinking, and negative mood swings.

The reactions cause people to isolate themselves to conserve energy to fight the infection, and the isolation also reduces the chances of spreading the infection to other people.

So it appears depression does serve a positive purpose under normal circumstances, but under the condition of chronic inflammation the reaction is not turned off and does more harm than good.

The consumption of an anti-inflammatory whole food plant-based diet is an excellent way to protect yourself against depression. Find the better plant foods to eat on this nutritional guide based on the Dr Sebi food list.
