Deans' stroke musings: 5 dietary habits connected to depression and anxiety

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

5 dietary habits connected to depression and anxiety

Two years later, has your stroke hospital implemented this? Of course not! Your hospital doesn't have anyone reading and applying research to help stroke survivors.

5 dietary habits connected to depression and anxiety

In February 2019, researchers in Korea published a study in the Journal of Nutrition and Health, showing a connection between diet and mental health.

The researchers recruited over 3,500 participants for their study, all of whom were over the age of 65. They then analyzed their dietary information, addressed their anxiety and depressive states, and split them into two groups: those with anxiety and depression and those without.

They made quite a few findings as they compared diet and mental health between the two groups.

Men who ate alone were more likely to have depression and anxiety than those who ate with others.
Women who ate the evening meal less frequently were more likely to have depression and anxiety.
Men who ate less—particularly less fish, shellfish, seaweed, mushroom, oils/fats, and seasonings—were more likely to have depression and anxiety
Men who had poorer nutrient intake generally were more likely to have depression and anxiety
Men and women who ate less dietary fibre, riboflavin (B₂), niacin (B₃), potassium, iron, and vitamin C were more likely to have depression and anxiety.

This is one more study among a growing body of research showing a connection between what we eat and our mental health. Here at Truehope, we’ve been promoting nutrition as mental health treatment for over 20 years.

Oh, by the way, did you know that Truehope EMPowerplus contains vitamins B₂, B₃, and C, as well as potassium and iron, all vitamins the researchers found were lower in participants with depression and anxiety? EMPowerplus is an all-natural combination of 36 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants specially formulated to promote physical and mental well-being.

A single standard dose of two capsules of EMPowerplus contains 106% of the recommended daily value of vitamin B₂, 60% of vitamin B₃, 134% of vitamin C, 1% of potassium, and 10% of iron.
