Anyone have experience with food and mood?
I have been wondering if feelings of depression or anxiety may be liked to poor diet choices. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any at all- could be specific foods that can make you feel better, certain nutrients that can make you feel better, lack of specific nutrients that may cause you to feel worse, addition of certain chemicals, additives, etc. that make you feel worse, general diet habits such as when you eat or how much at a time, or food combining... anything! Thank you!

Sugar and carbs are linked to depression.. more specifically people suffering from depression crave sugar as it temporarily raises serotonin levels giving a false sense of happiness.. and of course then you have a crash and feel even worse than before.. eating habits are really overlooked by most doctors when it comes to depression..
In many cases poor diet can lead to other very serious health problems which depression is actually considered a symptom of!
So yes I'd say it has much to do with it. :)
My bad, got a little side tracked..lol
Personally I have systematic candida.. which causes brain fog depression anxiety nausea abdominal cramps hypoglycemic reaction to foods among MANY other not so fun things..
I've put myself on a low carb low sugar diet (which is hell sometimes lol)
But I've been feeling MUCH better
