You’re not as
Depressed as You Think You Are
Plenty of people out there are depressed with where their
life is heading. The economy is coming down around our heads, bills are piling
up around you, and food prices are skyrocketing. This is enough to drive anyone
crazy and there is little that you can do about any of it on a worldwide level.
But what can you do to make your life better on a more personal level? Well,
let's take a look at the things that can give you a happier life than what you
are currently living.
The most common cure for depression these days requires a
prescription and the use of a pill from a pharmaceutical company. By the way,
they don’t care about your health; they just want your money. Doctors assume
that if you are depressed, then there has to be a chemical imbalance going on
in your body. The thing they won't tell you is that the chemical imbalance is
usually a result of the crap that you are eating on a daily basis. It’s
actually been proven that mice that now eat the same foods you are eating
become lethargic and depressed with low energy levels.
It has also been proven that those same mice can turn that
around by eating healthy whole foods that aren't loaded down with pesticide and
herbicide chemicals. After a week or two, all those depressed and lethargic
mice will be running around their cages without a worry in the world, full of
energy. So, the first thing you are going to need to do is find a way of
planting a small garden to supplement your diet with some fresh fruit and
vegetables. In this way, you can chuck that bag of Cheetos and eat something
that your body will actually digest rather than just feel full on.
The next thing you are going to need to do is leave out the
soda and start drinking water. Granted, that stuff that comes out of your tap
is probably not very healthy for you, either. After all, they load it down with
chlorine and fluoride to the point that it’s just as chemically laden as any
pharmaceutical pill on the market. That’s why you need a good filtration system
for your water, even in bathing because your skin is soaking up that chemical
cocktail in your local water system. By the way, bottled water is the same as
tap water in most cases.
If you can clean up your diet and drink fresh healthy water,
then you will see your energy levels rise. This will, in turn, allow you to get
a moderate amount of exercise every week and that will put the chemicals in
your body back into balance. Now, you aren't depressed and, when you are
feeling better about yourself and your life, you are able to do the things you
need in order to change things for the better. No self-help books are needed
for this and you can stop going to your shrink every week, too, which will save
you money and make you even happier.
