a well balanced diet helps alleviate depression too.
too many weeks of staying cooped up in the basement eating pizza rolls will take its toll both physically and mentally
- Jtsummers 11y agoShould've mentioned that. I guess I made three major changes this year (my previous diet wasn't bad, but too large portion sizes).
- dfc 11y agoI have heard this from a couple of people but I have never seen any studies to support this folk-medicine remedy for clinical depression. Do you have any literature pointers?
- astrange 11y agoWell, pizza rolls in the basement have a terrible ratio of omega-3/omega-6 and no vitamin D, and omega-3 supplementation is quite effective against depression. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21939614 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21939614 So there ya go.
- dfc 11y agoThat is for one supplement or for "a balanced diet"? Because the way I read that it seems I could eat whatever and take the fish oil supplement.
- astrange 11y agoSure, why not? You could always eat your ingredients instead of cooking too.
- dfc 11y agoI am not trying to be rude but I really don't know what you are trying to say. Yes, if I understand the study you linked to, as long as i take the supplement or drizzle fish oil on my pizza I could eat a totally unbalanced diet of raw or cooked ingredients. But your original comment was about "a balanced diet" not the benefits of one very specific supplement?
- astrange 11y agoI didn't make that comment, and I can't immediately provide proof of the health of a regular diet vs a bunch of supplements. But they have a ton of sodium and not much fiber, so if anything you'd get pretty constipated.
