Thank you for this, especially on the food thing. I have been meaning to research for info on the effects of junk food on the MIND (not just the body). This just reminded me to do that.
I just don't understand why so many people are being diagnosed as clinically depressed and needing to take pills. I am trying to blame food but all my friends who are depressed say I am wrong. I don't believe I am. They wanted me to take pills along with them last September but I decided to follow Body For Life by Bill Phillips instead. I have steadily been getting better and I don't have those EXTREME mood swings I once did. I still have bad days, but not lasting for weeks. And, I feel a genuine joy deep within. I credit my spiritual walk and improved diet (meaning, eating nutritional foods, not "dieting.")
Great list.
