1, food rich in vitamin B.

A recent study published by the Institute of Psychiatry of the British Medical Council shows that vitamin B is of great help to the treatment of depression.

The researchers found that if the blood of patients with depression contains more vitamin B 12, the effect of patients after treatment will be more significant. If the elderly patients contain more B 1, B2 and B6, the therapeutic effect is obviously better than other patients with depression. Vitamin B 12 can be obtained from animals. Eating animal liver, egg yolk and fish can increase the content of vitamin B in blood.

2. Rose tea

Chinese medicine believes that roses are sweet and bitter, warm in nature, and the most obvious effects are regulating qi and relieving depression, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation and relieving pain. In addition, the medicinal properties of roses are very mild, which can warm people's heart, liver and blood, relieve the depression in the body, and play a role in calming, calming the nerves and resisting depression. Women often have some emotional irritability before or during menstruation, and drinking roses can play a regulatory role. In today's increasingly stressful work and life, even if it is not menstrual period, you can drink more roses to calm and stabilize your mood. When soaking roses, you can add rock sugar or honey according to your personal taste to reduce the astringency of roses and enhance their efficacy. Need to be reminded that roses are best not to drink tea. Because tea contains a lot of tannic acid, it will affect the efficacy of roses in soothing the liver and relieving depression.

Step 3 fish

Eating fish can improve mental disorders, because the omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish can produce similar effects as antidepressants, which can reduce people's psychological anxiety.

Some scholars in the United States have studied patients with mental disorders and found that the interval between depressive episodes after taking fish oil capsules is significantly longer than that of patients who only take conventional drugs. In addition, eating fish can also affect the concentration of omega-3 fatty acids in women's milk, thus reducing the incidence of depression. Through the investigation and comparative study of different countries, it is found that the country with the largest fish consumption has the lowest incidence of depression, homicide and suicide. In countries with low fish consumption, the incidence of depression is quite high.

4. Foods rich in trace elements such as selenium, zinc and copper.

Zinc mainly exists in human body in the form of metalloenzyme, and the rest is distributed in the form of protein conjugate. Zinc deficiency will affect the energy metabolism and redox process of brain cells. The highest content of zinc in food is oyster, which is also distributed in animal liver and kidney and dairy products. Lack of copper in the body will also make the internal inhibition process of nerve cells out of balance, making the endocrine system in an excited state and insomnia. Squid, shrimp, mutton and mushrooms are all rich in copper.

Foods containing selenium can also treat mental depression. Psychologists have found that people generally feel better and think more harmoniously after eating selenium-containing foods. Rich sources of selenium are dried fruits, chicken, seafood and cereals. Complex carbohydrates, such as whole wheat bread and soda crackers, can also improve mood.

Foods that people with depression can't eat.

1, refreshing drink. Don't eat too much drinks like coffee, tea and cola, especially before going to bed at night. Otherwise, caffeine will cause insomnia and headache, and insomnia is one of the main causes of depression.

2. Long-term vegetarian diet. Is vegetarian food a food that can lead to depression? I believe many friends are skeptical about this. In fact, some friends think that health preservation is vegetarian, and every meal every day is green vegetables and staple food. Never eating any meat and seafood is a one-sided health concept. I wonder if this will increase the risk of depression.

3. processed food. They account for almost most of the blacklist of foods that may lead to depression. Whether it is fried food with high calorie, high fat and high cholesterol or pickled semi-finished products, its nutritional structure is single. Even so, a considerable part is still lost due to processing, and nutritional deficiency can also induce depression.

4. Avoid foods rich in saturated fat. Pork or fried foods, such as hamburgers and French fries, can lead to slow movement, slow thinking and fatigue.

5, spicy pickled smoked food avoid excessive. Avoid excessive spicy, spicy, pickled, smoked and other irritating foods. Because there are many reasons for insomnia, patients should selectively choose the food that suits them according to their own physique.

6. wine. Alcohol is included in the food blacklist that causes depression because people have long misunderstood this method of relieving stress. It is said that a drunk can solve a thousand worries, and many people have great psychological pressure and heavy ideological burden. When their inner pain has nowhere to release, they will drink to vent. I don't know that excessive drinking will not only help improve mood, but will lead to loss of appetite and malnutrition, which will lead to depression.

7. Foods rich in tyramine. Tyramine can raise blood pressure. When taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors, you must absolutely abstain from cheese. Foods rich in tyramine: animal liver, fish, yogurt, cheese and chocolate.
