As a young child I was considered ADD, as I grew into my teens I was diagnosed with Depression,Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder.

“psychological tests given (IDARE-1, IDARE-2 and CES-D) to the subjects demonstrate significant differences in anxiety and depression between groups. More anxiety and depression were reported in the no vegetarian groups in comparison with the vegetarian groups. In addition, diet analysis found more nutritional antioxidant agents levels in the vegetarian group” Bol Asoc Med PR 1998 Apr-Jun;90(4-6):58-68

THANK YOU!!
take the MIGHT out of your sentence it will help you we are on this jeourney together i wish u the best take care my friend !:)
im beginning a raw vegan life style what other things can we eat that are conceitered raw so i dont get bored on this life style?
Again, wonderful video with a great message.
Leave in harmony with nature, treat your body the way nature intended for it to be treated and you won’t believe how wonderful life can be.
Very good, very true points. I absolutely can relate to what you’re saying. I’ve been “there” myself and all along I felt that bringing about physical health is a major step towards feeling well (it may not be the only step that’s required, other steps may include changing your job, relationships, etc). Of course, I’m not 100% out of “there”, but I’m much, much better.
I feel the pits when my diet slips, but when I eat low fat raw food (almost all the time nowadays), then my body leaps for energy and joy. The brain is just like any other part of the body. Cut the crap out, and eat a very clean low fat diet then the rest of your body and your brain and sense of well being will bless you abundantly!
green smoothies (just greens and fruit) is the best thing for improving my mood, thinking, and vibrations. I can feel it right away. kale, parsley, spinach, romaine, cilantro, etc. ~~ not all together, but different green smoothie every day.
Great vid thanks! I totally agree with what you said.
It’s funny because I ended up in the hospital for about a month…I had never felt so low and with my mind being so closed I didn’t think ‘hey you’ve been eating worse than you ever have!’, but in the back of my mind I was thinking that you are not healthy from eating bad and not working out. I didn’t think you have to do this now to change! It was that’s on the list. I would have done anything to get better, but at the time it was meds. I wish I knew then…
Healing Mental Illness With Raw Food Nutrition
Hey man, just found your videos. Great topic on here because for 4 years I treated anxiety/depression with medication blindly following the doctors orders. Then a spark of light hit me 2-3 years ago and realized it was my eating habbits, going vegetarian COMPLETELY eliminated all anxiety symptoms, now I’m about half way into the Raw food thing.
Que guapo.
Awesome Awesome Awesome……!!!!!
Working in different arenas where either directly and/or indirectly mental stability and/or health has to do with the problems why I’m dealing with people is highly probable that your theory is on the money. For example; Larger number of people in an area where good nutritional environment is absent tend to be more unstable in their reasoning and judgment, as opposed to those in a good nutritional environment.

God bless

Thank you for your information!
I have anxiety disorder for long time.
This might help, I will give it to try.
Food for thought!
Thank you this is a great video!
great video. you hit the nail on the head when describing depression, just being in a bad place
Good food is the greatest medication. I am the only raw foodist that I know of, living in the city that I live in. I’ve had all kinds of mental and physical issues in my life, and increasing the amount of living foods has helped me a tremendous amount. I’ve been trying so hard to recover from stress and my own toxic lifestyle, I just really wish that there were other individuals practicing this kind of lifestyle locally. I need a coach!
