Amanda Geary, a nutritional therapist, has developed an idea meal for the British mental health charity ‘Mind’. Geary is also the founder of the ‘Food And Mood Project’. This is a pasta with pesto and oily fish, avocado and mixed-seed salad. Fruits and oatcakes are also there for pudding. This is wheat free pasta. Wheat causes sensitivities that may cause fatigue and depression later. The meal is rich in tryptophan. This amino acid changes the meal in feel-good chemical serotonin. Slow-burn carbohydrates help in the easy absorption of tryptophan, and the oily fish and seeds, high in omega 3 and 6 fats, helps body to digest the food comfortably. There are some tips those helps to reduce depression while having the diet – # Avoid foods contain trans-fats and hydrogenated fats # Don’t binge and don’t go on low-fat diet # Eat food rich in folate # Ditch caffeine and sugar # Don’t drown your sorrows
