Cashews Are A Natural Anti-Depressant

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 handfuls of cashews is the therapeutic equivalent of a prescription dose of Prozac. Inside you, the essential amino acid L-tryptophan is broken down into anxiety-reducing, snooze-inducing niacin. Even more important, tryptophan is also made into serotonin, one of your body’s most important neurotransmitters. Serotonin gives a feeling of well-being and mellowness, or as the Australians would say, “no worries.” This is such a profound effect that Prozac, Paxil and similar antidepressants usually either mimic serotonin or artificially keep the body’s own serotonin levels high. You can do the same thing with your food. And no one can tell us that beans, peas, cheese, nuts and wheat germ are toxic if you eat a lot of them!</span><div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>Plenty of carbohydrates (starches) in your meals help tryptophan get to where it does the most good: in your brain. In order to cross the blood-brain barrier to get in, carbos are required. So cheese and crackers provides a better effect than the cheese standing alone. An egg or two on toast is better than just the egg. Beans, peas, and nuts already contain carbohydrate, so you are all set there.</span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div> <div> <script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=579098%26bid=1449088" type="text/javascript"></script> <noscript><a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/BidVertiser/bdv_advertiser.dbm">marketing</a></noscript> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> ( function() { if (window.CHITIKA === undefined) { window.CHITIKA = { 'units' : [] }; }; var unit = {"publisher":"milevski21","width":300,"height":250,"sid":"Chitika Default"}; var placement_id = window.CHITIKA.units.length; window.CHITIKA.units.push(unit); document.write('<div id="chitikaAdBlock-' + placement_id + '"></div>'); var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.src = '//cdn.chitika.net/getads.js'; try { document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s); } catch(e) { document.write(s.outerHTML); } }()); </script> <img alt="natural-anti-depressant" src="http://www.naturalcuresnotmedicine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/natural-anti-depressant.jpg">
