Food Prescription to Treat (Mental) Illness [NPR]

 

One man's story of improving his mental and physical health with careful use of nutrition.

"People who struggle with mental illness and obesity may overeat to get adequate energy, Palmer says. Their brain cells might not process fuel from sugar properly because of genetics, a poor diet or stress from a toxic childhood. To feed their brains, they often turn to the diet plan favored by most Americans: lots of processed foods, sugar and easily digested carbs."

Whole Foods, Plant-Based, No oil!!! That’s what I believe is the best because it can reverse CAD and Type 2 DM.  Plus growing communitiy gardens is a great way to bring back communities to broken communities. 

And the China Study showed definitively that meat and dairy cause cancer. The less serious medical Iillness, the less stress and the less medicine leading toless trauma.

I am so glad to see articles like this. After 15 years of working with people with histories of trauma. Most have nutritional deficits. These nutritional deficits make it difficult to manage glucose which creates anxiety. When people are getting inadequate protein, minerals, and vitamins it is hard to synthesize neurotransmitters.
