When I Eat Healthy I Do Not Feel Depressed

[Maj]

I'm really happy for you. Just shows you how making a determined effort to eat healthily does your mind the world of good. It's definitely worth it. I've been watching my diet the last few days and swimming every day and it does definitely lift your mood.

Keep it up Smudger, if you can resist the stuff that makes you feel bad it sounds like you have a great way to shake of your bad feelings. I am always better when I eat healthy and excercise but i REALLY struggle resisting chocolate!! Good luck with it

Thank you myra and jimpy. I concur with the chocolate comment!

i agree that healthy food can make you feel better - ive seen it in the media that there is proof the high fat and sugar content of junk food can make depression worse and maybe even cause it?

Yep completely agree, I never eat processed food, very very rarely. Due to my living circumstances, Ive only had use of a microwave, and have really noticed how low it makes me feel not eating fresh food.

kate1, there are loads of recipes using fresh ingredients you can cook in a microwave. I often use the convection oven part of the microwave too as its more cost effective than the oven.I think microwaves have had some bad press recently though but I just cant summon up the willpower to build a camp fire in my back garden! Anyway, byelaws wont allow it before 6pm where I live! lol!
