Juicy Water

I noticed yesterday that ever since I started drinking water, I have stopped munching on sweets. It can be feeding your depression even more. Take note guys, people eat snacks when bored. It can also be when they are feeling a bit sad, or just because the food is "right there" & "I don't want to let it go to waste". Sugar seriously clutters your body's ability to support itself! To keep it short & sweet- diabetes & body fat gain. I personally know that it's VERY difficult to stop eating sugars all at once since it has been compared to quitting highly addictive drugs! Incredible! I STRUGGLED the first day without sweets. The cravings are so serious that you'll probably start making ANY excuse to eat unless you have some sort of self-control (think meditation). Luckily, water can help you get used to healthier things in the long run. Check out my other posts for helpful tips!

You want some. I could tell.

Vitamin B-6 is Great

B-complex vitamins, especially B-6 must be present for your body's normal, depression-fighting chemical reactions to occur. B-6 deficiency is very common in Americans, and that "deficiency" is measured against an already ridiculously low US RDA of only two milligrams.Therapeutic doses between 100 and 500 milligrams daily are commonly prescribed by physicians for PMS relief.
 A daily total of a few hundred milligrams of individual B-6, especially if taken in addition to the entire B-complex to ensure balance, is very safe indeed. Those with lower blood levels of vitamin B6 had higher risks of lung cancer, no matter what their smoking status. Doctors say healthy levels of B vitamins help make and maintain healthy DNA – an important factor in the prevention of cancer. Vitamin B6 is in a variety of foods including meats, poultry, fish, grains, beans and some fruits and vegetables – such as avocados, broccoli and bananas. Such a great mood lifter!
