When we feel depression, the usual remedies are to see a doctor or see a therapist. Both can be good ideas, and will help beat the depression.
However, many people wonder if there are natural approaches to depression help. Are there ways to heal depression that don't involve drugs or expensive psychotherapy? In many cases, yes, there are ways to beat depression without drugs. You can try these yourself at home even if you are on antidepressants or are already seeing a psychotherapist.
A first approach that anyone can try at home is a simple dietary change. This dietary change can cure depression symptoms within two or three days, many times. And that is to give up white refined sugar.
White refined sugar causes depressive mood swings in many millions of people every day. Here's what happens. When you eat sugar, like a candy bar, your blood sugar goes up. You feel happier and more energized for 30 minutes or so. Your body releases a flood of insulin to get the blood sugar level back to normal. So within an hour, your blood sugar levels decrease to low blood sugar levels.
Low blood sugar causes dark mood swings. So does high blood sugar, and spiking between the two throughout a day filled with doughnuts and soda pop and desserts. You can start to feel angry, or irritable, or depressed. You can feel low energy and even start to have feelings of meaningless and emptiness over the next several hours or days.
Over months of spiking between high and low blood sugar your body chemistry gets out of whack. What most people don't know is that this has emotional consequences as well as physical. You will likely experience dark mood swings, which can include feeling bad about yourself and your life. All from sugar!
Wanna cure your depression naturally? Give up white sugar for a week. Remove it from your diet. If it depresses you to think of not having sweets, no worries. You can still have sweets, but use stevia instead to sweeten your foods, or a little agave nectar.
You should notice within a few days that you feel better. Happier. More hopeful and energetic. There are other natural cures for depression, but this is a good start that costs you nothing and will teach you a lot. There are several other natural cures you can try before or along with antidepressants, but try this one today. You could be feeling better by tomorrow.
