Have you ever wondered why people who are depressed eat more? There is a link between what your gut tells you and your mood, your health, and your brain. It’s like the canary in the cave. When something is wrong with any of these systems, it is what you feel inside that measures its imbalance. That is why the body is demanding food, but not just any food. It is looking for what gives you back the good feelings and eliminates toxins.

Yes! Toxins are the biggest enemy our systems have. People who eat to please their tastes don’t always eat the right foods. Salt is one of the worst when taken in large amounts, as many tend to do. They think it makes food taste better. That is a thought that is detrimental to your health. It produces headaches, fatigue and feelings of depression. Processed sugar is next to salt as a bad toxin.

The toxins accumulate and cause many unpleasant side effects. Among them are things like bad breath, an early warning sign that the liver isn’t coping with the load of removing these things from the body. If you visit the dentist regularly and still experience this condition, then do something about it.

Among other symptoms is constant fatigue, this indicates that your body is working too hard to overcome the poison you are putting into it. One of the worst things here is the red meat, which is very difficult for the body to digest. You work overtime and take the energy that should support you through the day and even though you sleep well, you have problems.

Stubborn weight gain that is hard to understand if you are eating correctly. It can indicate a hormonal imbalance and here again we come across that word. This can be due to chemicals in food, the personal care products one uses, and even the shampoo one applies to the head. It’s what we don’t know about these things that does the most damage.

Constipation can cause a buildup of toxins because many are removed from the body during bowel movements. If this activity is avoided, it adds to the problem.

Muscular aches and pains are another indicator of poor health. The toxins may be working against your bones and acting like acid around your joints. This results in bone wear where synovial fluid is excreted to act as oil when movement of the joints is required.

People who experience one or more of the above are in poor health. They need to detoxify their bodies and get healthy, fresh, organic, raw foods that help eliminate the things that are causing the problem. This will promote weight loss and lift your body in a way that allows you to straighten up.

While the suggestions may be difficult for those who suffer from depression and mood swings to contemplate, they are likely to feel on top of the world within a week or so of completely adjusting their diets. Meanwhile, in my experience, things like green Granny Smith apples, celery, and the natural sugars in fruits and vegetables can alleviate the condition temporarily.

Another great tip is to grow your own vegetables and fruits and pick them immediately before preparing the meal. The flavor is amazing and the enzymes are still available. People who choose to live in units that do not have garden space are doing themselves a huge disservice. Not only do they live without the oxygen-producing green plants around them, but they also inhale the toxins from other units which can have the same effects as well.

As modern life leads to more supermarket outlets for grocery shopping, people are opting for the easy-to-get-out-of-the-freezer style of ready meals. In some cases, this may be fine once in a while, but the long-term effect of doing it regularly is just as bad as having takeout. Nothing is safe unless you make it yourself with the freshest ingredients.

Diseases of all kinds are increasing in number compared to a few years ago. Cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis, heart problems, and strokes are on the rise. Each of them is avoidable when the body is in balance. Even things like aging are offset by good health.
