A LITTLE BIT ON MENTAL HEALTH

When we begin asking ourselves if we are losing our mind, getting annoyed at ourselves because we keep misplacing things or even getting anxious over the changes, we may want to investigate the symptoms instead of blaming everything on stress or age. Probably the greatest fear is that of Alzheimer’s disease. It is not necessarily true that memory deteriorates as we age. Occasional memory loss or forgetfulness are a natural part of life at virtually any age. With proper nutrition, exercise and sleep, memory use should remain sharp and active well into one’s nineties or beyond.

The following are common conditions often misdiagnosed as mental disease:

· Low or unstable blood sugar

· Candidiasis or parasites

· Chronic fatigue

· Hormone imbalance

· Nutrient imbalances in the body and the brain

· Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

· Thyroid disorder

There may be numerous other factors involved in contributing to mental conditions:

· Alcohol, drugs (legal or non-legal), smoking

· Food allergies

· Stress – physical or mental

· Heavy metal intoxication

· Environmental allergies or poisons

· Legal therapies such as shock treatment

Some or all of the above may contribute to brain fog, panic attacks, fatigue, aches and pain, chronic diseases, or emotional disorders.

Join us next week with tips on how you can help preserve your brain function with nutrition.
