Natural Antidepressants

Everyone feels miserable when they are ill, tired, bored and to fed up to move off the sofa and get on with it. This is known among psychologists as sickness behavior. It happens for a good reason, helping us avoid doing more damage or spreading an infection any further. Clinical trials done so far have found that adding anti-inflammatory medicines to antidepressants not only improves symptoms, it also increases the proportion of people who respond to treatment. A diet rich in trans fats and sugar has been shown to promote inflammation. Stress, particularly the kind that follows social rejection or loneliness, also causes inflammation, which might explain its prevalence all over the world as we increasingly eat and isolate ourselves into a state of chronic inflammation. Many of those recovering from the damage caused by mind altering medications are reporting excellent results with these nutritional products in stopping panic or anxiety attacks, OCD symptoms, Tourettes, anorexia, balancing blood sugar levels, etc. According to a study at the University of Illinois, lunasin works to protect cells by reducing the negative effects of oxidative stress and by regulating the body’s inflammatory response. In this way lunasin can offer long-term cell protection when consumed regularly.
