Are you feeling low in your spirit? Are you feeling tired?
Are you not able to enjoy activities? These could be signs of mild depression.

Let me tell you there are lots of causes for depression and lots of treatments are available, but a healthy diet plays a very important role.

A perfect balance of mood enhancing chemicals in the brain is very vital for the proper functioning of  the brain cells.
Follow the following diet plan:

Meat, fish, egg yolks, beans: These food items are rich in iron. Iron is very vital to increase the production of chemical transmitters in the brain.

Citrus fruits: They are source of vitamin C which helps in the process of iron absorption.

Dark green leafy vegetables: Cabbage and specially spinach is geared up with folic acids which increases the production of serotonin, a mood-lifting hormone.

Milk products, seeds, and nuts: As these food items are a very good source of  calcium, so they help in  activating those enzymes in the brain which are responsible for normal cell activity.

Shellfish, whole grains: These food items are a very good source of magnesium which promotes normal cell activity in the brain.

Bananas, whole grain cereals: These food items are a very good source of  potassium. People who suffer from depression, usually have low levels of this nutrient.

Vitamin B6: it is mostly found in avocado, bananas, whole grain, dark leafy vegetables. Vitamin B6 is responsible fro converting the aminoacid tryptophan into serotonin.

Brewer's yeast, fruits, milk, legumes: these food items are rich in  inositol. This nutrient helps in regulating mood swings.

Tuna, salmon, or mackerel: the fish is a very good source of Omega-3 fatty acids. These acids are very good for brain. 

Peas, root vegetables, nuts: these food items contain zinc which may help prevent depression.
