But, there are a few signs that you’re having more than just an off-day. There are signs that you need to change your mindset so you can actually move forward.

    The Positive Effects of Vitamin D on Mood

    The Positive Effects of Vitamin D on Your Mood  If you struggle with bouts of sadness or depression, I have good news for you. There may be a simple solution to help you feel more uplifted and more positive. Studies have shown a link between vitamin D deficiency and mood. Vitamin D is a vitamin your body actually doesn’t store. Each day you need a source of it or you will become deficient, and the odds are pretty good that deficiency will have a negative effect on your health, both mental and physical. The good news is that getting enough vitamin D each day is relatively easy. The Vitamin D…

    Canned Fish – Should You Include It In Your Diet?

    Canned Fish I love including canned fish in my health eating world. It’s easy, affordable and always “at the ready” for a quick, healthy and delicious meal. Recently, a friend posted a link on Twitter to a Medium article I felt I should share, so here goes. Written by David Neimanis, this article gives a short chronicle of the author’s real introduction and embracing of canned fish as an integral part of his diet. Almost eight years go, I went through something similar when I rejected processed food and the Standard American Diet. I needed to have a healthy, reasonably price source of protein to add to salads and other…

    No Carb No Sugar Diet – Look and Feel Younger in Seven Days!

    No Carb No Sugar Diet While I’m not a fan of the concept of a diet (I prefer a more permanent lifestyle eating change), some diets are so good for you, it’s as though they turn back the clock. The No Carb No Sugar diet is one of those diets! People who follow this diet look younger than they actually are, and that’s because certain diets can help your body heal inflammation and protect your telomeres. By the way, telomeres are found at the end of your chromosomes. Having longer, more intact telomeres is a prediction of a slower aging process. The No Carb No Sugar Diet can help you…

    Food and Depression – They Are Related!

    Food and Depression Recently, my sister sent me an article from the Wall Street Journal on food and depression that is so good, I just had to share it with you. From personal experience, I have known for years that food and depression are related.  That’s how I “disappeared” my own decades long struggle with it; I changed my diet. In this article, titled, “The Food That Helps Battle Depression”, Elizabeth Bernstein says in part: …later this month in Los Angeles at the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting, researchers from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago will present results from their research that shows that elderly adults who eat…

    I Accidentally Discovered I Could Treat Depression with Food

    I Accidentally Discovered I Could Treat Depression with Food If you’ve ever wanted to live large and make a difference, what I am writing here will speak to you. I accidentally discovered I could treat depression with food and felt strongly I had an important story to tell. I’ve made a decision not to live from fear, but to live from a place of openness so I can reach more people and attempt to help more people with their health both mental and physical. I’ve written a book, “Eat Your Blues Away” to document my accidental recovery from chronic depression by changing how I eat. I literally learned to treat…

    Depression Recovery – Is it possible for you? Last week I shared with you that my new book about my depression recovery had gone to be formatted and was almost ready for Prime Time.  This week, I can tell you it is published and up on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback!  While this has been a journey for me and I am proud to have reached the finish line, I’m most excited about the difference the book has the potential to make in so many lives. Did you know that more than 20% of women over the age of forty in this country take some kind of prescription medication…

    Coping with Holiday Depression

    Coping with Holiday Depression It’s not always “the most wonderful time of the year”.  In fact, for many and for a variety of reasons, coping with holiday depression can be pretty challenging.  Depression is a huge problem at any time of the year, but at holiday season, it can be particularly painful. This is the time of year when the marketing and advertising media tell us we should be skipping through the snow with our loved ones, getting excited over that luxury car with the big red bow on the roof and just plain having a ball!  But what if your life is not that great right now?  Maybe you’re…

    Did you ever want to write a book?

    Did you ever want to write a book? Many years ago, I wanted to write a book…specifically a mystery book.  Mysteries were always a favorite read for me, and I had a great ending in mind.  The trouble was, I couldn’t come up with a beginning or a middle, so I abandoned the project rather quickly. In recent years, the thought returned to me as I have been looking for ways to share my accidental recovery from chronic depression with others.  I started to write a book several years ago, honestly without knowing what I was doing.  I just started it as an online challenge to write five thousand words…
