now could fasting be the new antidepressant

I actually think so there’s minimal side effects there’s a lot of positive

amazing things that can happen your body that go way beyond just losing weight

and getting rid of your hunger but in this video we’re going to talk about a

study that I found but I’ll put the link down below that’s actually very very

fascinating it involves improving your mood so in the study they found that the

orexin signaling activity has increased now what is orexin signaling activity

mean orexin is a chemical in the body that will increase wakefulness okay so

you’ll feel more awake if you’re depressed you’re not very awake so this

is a very uplifting higher mood sensation also this will increase

dopamine which makes you feel better also it’s associated with happiness

because low levels of this chemical will cause sadness and so many people when

they start doing a fast and they get past the first part where they have to

convert into ketones just start feeling really really good and they feel happier

for sure so number two fasting can increase endorphin release endorphins

give you the sensation of euphoria which is a pleasure sensation and also

endorphins decrease pain a lot of people get rid of their inflammation and pain

when they do fasting there’s something about pain that actually makes you

depressed as well next thing that it will increase I’m not going to give you

a chemical name but it’s CREB dash T F this compound signals certain genes that

increase serotonin it’s been associated with people with a major depressive

disorder so when they test people with severe depression they find this factor

is low and fasting will increase it okay next thing it increases is something

called BDNF this is brain derived neurotrophic factor basically what that

is it’s miracle grow for your

brain it helps you grow new brain cells so all these factors can be stimulated

just by fasting I mean take a look at the flipside the psych drugs are

required to put a black label it’s because there’s some serious serious

side effects not to mention covering up the real

cause of the problem and as you start taking it in a depressant you need more

and more of it because it doesn’t work as well and then you have to add another

one and before you know it it doesn’t work anymore so why not try something

that is so safe that seems to be very very effective and it’s natural there’s

some other things you can do as well fish or cod liver oil filled with DHA

and EPA is known to have an anti-depressive effect vitamin D is

known to reverse depression choline and whole eggs and by the way choline is in

whole eggs okay because this is involved in brain chemistry and there’s a lot of

great nutrients in whole eggs that can also improve your mood your curcumin is a

very powerful antioxidant that can also help and also there’s some research on a

high-fat diet that can help someone who’s depressed and if we take a look at

the opposite effect on a low-fat diet that’s when you actually increase the

risk of depression and other cognitive problems thus the ketogenic diet right

if you’re new to my channel and you don’t know how to do intermittent

fasting check out this video I put it right here
