fema4psychiatrists,

 

What has your experience been with this and similar recipes? Have you noticed improvement in symptoms?

 

I have eaten like this full-time since at least 2012. It has improved my life and my husband's. But I can't tell if it helps my withdrawal symptoms, since I was on it before I had most of them. I didn't have any severe physical health problems before going on the diet either, so I also can't tell about that.

I just listened to the first part of a program on "Mad in America" where Julia Rucklidge talks about the importance of good nutrition in mental health/nervous system health.    Because of modern farming practices our foods, in general, are not as nutritious as they used to be.  Crops are grown fast, many foods are hybridized for long shelf life and easy transportability, and many soils are depleted of nutrients.  

 

Here are some healthy foods to focus on for optimal brain health:  

• fresh fruits and vegetables - various colors indicate various phytonutrients 
• grass fed meats
• fish
• legumes - great source of protein, plus vitamins and minerals and fiber
• nuts and seeds
• whole grains
• avocados are a power house of nutrients and healthy fats

Try to minimize processed foods.  Shop the store perimeters, since the aisles contain mostly processed foods, in which much nutrition is lost.  Processed foods often contain chemicals and additives, which can trigger a sensitive nervous system.  Eat a wide variety of foods in order to get all your nutrients.  One half of your plate should be fruits/vegetables, 1/4 protein, and 1/4 complex carbohydrate.  Aim to eat 5 - 9 servings of vegetables and fruits per day, especially vegetables.  Reduce or eliminate sugary foods, and sugary drinks.  Eat produce that is in season in your area.  

 

Move away from dependence on the RDA concept (recommended daily allowance).  RDA was based on men going to war in the 1940's.  It was designed with the idea of making people physically healthy (muscles, bones, heart) and did not take brain health into account.  RDA has not changed much since the 1940's, in spite of evolving science about nutrition.  

 

Some people are more vulnerable to depletion in foods due to genetics.
