Hello everyone, today I would like to share with you about depression and bipolar foods to consume as little as possible.
Why do you want to share this with everyone? Because in the process of sitting in the clinic, I usually ask patients to pay attention to their diet at the end, try not to eat certain foods, sometimes some patients or family members will have questions, depression or bipolar and other emotional diseases, will the diet also have an impact?
The answer is yes. Food was originally one of the main ways people get energy. However, an unreasonable and unsuitable diet will not only cause gastrointestinal discomfort, but also aggravate the condition. Depression and bipolar disorder, although they are emotional disorders, can also be affected by diet.
For example, too much sugar, especially a simple sugar that is released quickly, can cause sharp fluctuations in blood sugar, making a person feel high for a short time, but then a feeling of fatigue and low mood. It's like an emotional roller coaster, making it difficult for people's mental state to remain stable.
So today I would like to share with you what foods people with depression should eat less.
High-calorie foods and sweetsIt's an exaggeration to say that "eating too much sugar makes you stupid", but excessive sugar intake does have an effect on brain function. Especially for patients with mental illness and those who are taking drugs, the weight of the drug is likely to rise sharply, and high-calorie foods accelerate the growth rate.
Pungent foodsChili peppers are not gustatory sensations, they belong to the category of pain; Chocolate, strong tea, coffee and other foods can also stimulate the cranial nerves and should be avoided as much as possible, especially for patients in the interval of bipolar disorder.
Alcohol and tobaccoNicotine in cigarettes and alcohol in alcohol both strongly regulate the nervous system. Alcohol can increase glutamate levels, promote neurotransmitter activity, induce oxidative stress and free radical production, and cause nerve damage.
Alcohol abuse while taking the drug will cause the drug to lose its effect and even cause a chemical reaction that can endanger your health. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly abstain from alcohol, and try to smoke as little as possible, not to smoke until you quit smoking.
In fact, whether it is depression or bipolar, or mental**, etc., it is not terrible, and it can be **, the key is early detection, early diagnosis, and early **.
If you or the patients around you have these conditions, I hope these patients can be effectively treated and can be treated as soon as possible**, and if you have patients with mental illness, you should give them more care and love.
