Calorie restrictions may promote brain-oriented neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, which are believed to play an important role in mood disorders.

For more than a century, fasting has been Support It is believed that as the treatment of “great utility in the protection of health”, especially the rejuvenation of the body and, at the top, the mind. when people Fast For 18 hours, however, they can be hungry and irritable. After one or two days, the positive mood goes down and negative mood goes Up, and after three days, may be rapidly rapidly feel There is a loss of depressed, self-breaking, and libido. Then, something strange starts to happen: people Experience A “fasting-inspired mood increases … anxiety, depression, fatigue, and better power reflected.” studies tend To show it across the board. Once you reach the hump, often rapidly “an enlarged level of vigilance and improving mood, a subjective feeling of goodness and sometimes excitement.” And, no wonder, as, until then, the endorphin level can be Rise About 50 percent, as seen here and in my video at 1:06 Friday Favorites: Fasting to treat depression,

This growth of mood, vigilance and calm Faculture A certain amount of evolutionary spirit. Our body wants us to feel bad in the beginning, so we continue to eat food, day by day, when food is available, but if we go a few days without food, our body realizes that we cannot mop only in our cave; We need to be motivated to go out and find some calories.

So, fasting may be used For mood disorders, like depression? It is very good that people may feel better after a few days of fasting, but the important question revolves around time -when the fasting ends and starts again. We have small published evidences Comes From Japan and former Soviet Union, and some of it Is Just ridiculous, like this study that included women with different types of symptoms, mostly convicted on matrimonial conflict, as you can see below and at 2:08 in me at 2:08 VideoNo husband Treatment You are right? How about some “Electronock Therapy”? If it did not help a lot, what about “Hunger Therapy”? Of course, they were hungry by keeping women hungry, but this is Thorzine. If they keep injecting them with an anticycleic to calm them down, they can raise through the right. So, what happened in the study? What will we do with those results?

Another study, however, Left Thorzine. Participants fasted for ten days, but they were kept in bed throughout the day on “absolute bed rest” throughout the day, completely isolated And “banned from watching people except the doctor and nurse present, also denied access to television, radio, newspapers or any other forms.” Therefore, if people have become better or worse, it would be impossible to tease the effects of the fasting component in itself. But researcher found That they clearly improved, allegedly 36 out of 36 patients with efficacy, as seen here and in me at 2:56 Video,

Researcher Conclude This fasting therapy can provide an option for the use of antique antidepressant drugs, “Thinking that fasting therapy can be a type of shock therapy.” People get relief from re -eating, to get out of solitary imprisonment, and even to get out of the bed that they are feeling better. However it was at the time of discharge. How did they like the next day, next week, next month? Fasting, according to the definition, is unstable, so what we ideally want to see are some types of long -lasting effects.

Researcher Did A follow -up with a few hundred patients, not only a few months, but after a few years. Out of 69 who were obviously suffering from depression, 90 percent reported to feel good or excellent results at the end of the ten-day fast, and, remarkably, years later, 87 percent of 62 persons who replied that they claimed that they were still doing well. Now, there was no control group, so we do not know if they were even better without or even better, and all this was self-reporting, so a response may be prejudice where participants tried to please researchers. Who knows? They may be afraid that they would send back to solitude if they do not respond positively. We have no idea, but we have good evidence for short -term mood benefits.

Why will fasting improve the feelings of depression? In addition to bounce in endorphins and serotonin, so -called pleasure hormones, when we Fast, There is a collision in brain-oriented neurotrophic factor (BDNF) game An important role in mood disorders. Researchers have rejected rodents with it, but we are not mice or mice. what about us? Man Pass The lower levels of BDNF revolve in their bloodstream. Dead body examination of suicide victims show In some major brain regions only half BDNF, compared to control, suggesting that it can play an important role in suicide behavior, as seen here and in me at 4:38 Video,

we can Increase BDNF with antidepressant drugs and electrocycs; we can also Increase It is accompanied by calorie ban. We can increase 70 percent in levels after three months of cutting 25 percent of calories from our daily diet, as shown below and at 4:51.

Is there anything that we can add to our diet to promote the level of BNDF so that we can get benefits without hunger? We will find further.
