Can a Healthy Eating Plan Improve Your Mood?


Believe it or not many mental health practitioners will recommend a healthy eating plan as a method of improving mood. Scientists study the link between food and mood nowadays more closely than ever before.


What they have learned:
  • there may be a relationship between the risk of common mental health issues such as depression and/or anxiety and a quality diet
Those who are particularly more vulnerable to nutritional shortfalls are infants and the elderly plus anyone eating a less-than-optimal diet. It is alarming to learn that way too many people fall into this latter category:
  • all ages of people eating a less-than-optimal diet
With a little effort people can improve their eating habits and thus improve their ability to cope with life's woes that may be causing your depression and/or anxiety.


First rule for looking at the quality of your diet is:
  • learn what foods to eat more of
  • learn what foods to eat less of
Fairly simple!
Scientific observational studies do show that healthy eating habits that include plenty of nutrient-rich plant foods such as:
  • vegetables
  • fruits
  • whole grains
  • omega-3-rich foods such as salmon and flax seeds
.....does decrease your chance of depression and/or anxiety.


I have seen this in myself. When I eat better daily, I am more able to ward off stress that triggers depression and anxiety within me. If I eat poorly for several days in a row and a time of stress hits me, it is like a cold slap in the face that puts me on my back quicker than had I maintained a healthy diet before the occurrence. You just don't have quality fuel for the body to keep the body going effectively. Imagine how it would be if you tried to run your car "without gas." It would not start, and it would not run. Try running your car without oil. The car will break down. It is the same with our bodies. Without high quality food, the body just shuts down. The mind will shut down as well.
A diet rich in foods high in refined carbohydrates like sugar and white flour, highly processed foods and sugary beverages is associated with "increased" risk of depression and anxiety.
Encouraged foods and recommended number of servings to help you ward off depression and anxiety are:

Whole grains: 5-8 servings per day
Vegetables: 6 per day
Fruit: 3 per day
Low-fat, unsweetened dairy foods: 2-3 per day
Olive oil: 3 Tbsp per day
Raw unsalted nuts: 1 per day
Legumes: 3-4 per week
Fish: 2 or more per week
Lean red meat: 3-4 per week
Chicken/turkey: 2-3 per week
Eggs: up to 6 per week
Limit the following foods to 3 per week:
  • sweets
  • refined cereals
  • fried foods
  • fast food
  • processed meats
  • sugary drinks
  • alcohol

Dietary approaches to improving mental health warrants further study.


While scientists continue to study the relationship between eating a healthy diet and how it impacts mental health, the recommendation is don't wait to adopt a healthy eating pattern. We already know it benefits your physical health with the potential to lift your mood as a bonus. It only makes sense to realize if you feel robust and are physically healthy, your mind should follow the same sequence of good vibrations, however, if you eat poorly and have to spend hours in doctor's offices for major physical diseases your eating problems caused, your mood is sure to follow as more susceptible to depression and anxiety. It is no fun spending most of our time visiting hospitals for tests and waiting in doctor's office for hours and hours. I can't find a thing about that to laugh at loud about!

Probiotic:
Providing your body with a regular source of “friendly” bacteria is important. There was a time when you could get healthy bacteria through foods but today most foods are so overly processed and pasteurized that the healthy bacteria aren’t alive by the time you ingest them. That’s why a daily probiotic is so valuable. There’s an ecosystem of bacteria (known as the intestinal microbiota) living in your intestines, which contains both “good” and “bad” bacteria. When the balance is tipped toward “bad” bacteria due to many factors including lack of sleep, stress or other causes, it may affect your digestive health and overall well-being.
The Life’s Abundance Probiotic formula was developed with an award winning probiotics manufacturer in the USA, focused on supplying the highest quality strains that are vigorously tested using top technological advances.
Two of the most important criteria for evaluating a probiotic are whether it can survive passage through the stomach by resisting gastric acidity and survive the intestines by resisting bile acids - both of which our probiotic formula have proven to do in research studies.
Life’s Abundance Probiotic formula has a potency guarantee of at least 25 Billion CFUs per capsule and a shelf life of 2 years at room temperature. Unlike some other probiotic formulas with shorter shelf lives, ours is guaranteed to stay stable, longer at room temperature.
Plant Protein
Our 100% grain-free, plant-based protein powder is a nutrient-rich blend of clean, high-quality proteins including pea, chia, pumpkin, hemp and quinoa.

At only 120 calories, it contains 15 grams of high-quality protein in every serving. For comparison, one-half of a boneless chicken breast, cooked is about 13 grams of protein and 115 calories.

Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is absolutely delicious and you can feel great about drinking it every day, because each and every ingredient was carefully chosen for its quality and safety.

While other protein powders use sunflower oil, we decided not to use this oil because it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, a fat that is much too prevalent in the American diet. Our Life’s Abundance Plant Protein contains non-GMO coconut oil powder, which is a great source of beneficial fatty acids that are easily absorbed. In addition, this health-promoting oil adds to the delicious taste and smooth texture of our blend.

Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is ideal for pre or post workouts, breakfast or whenever you need a healthy boost of energy from protein or a quick on-the-go snack.

With a superior taste and texture, it mixes easily with water into a silky smooth, rich and satisfying shake. Add to smoothies, pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal and more for a delicious way to increase protein.
Minerals and Antioxidant Drink
Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.

We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.

Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.

This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.

Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.

Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.

Give hydration a boost with Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants. In two delicious flavors, Cherry and Tropical Fruit, pour into a water bottle for a convenient, go-anywhere nutritious drink. Take it to the gym or give a bottle to the kids … it’s delicious, refreshing and nourishing!
Omega-3 Fish Oil

Not all Fish Oils are Created Equal

The benefits of including additional Omega-3’s to your diet are well known. However, unless you’re taking a high quality supplement, you may be better off not taking one at all. In this case, what you don’t know could hurt your wallet and your health.

Your Wallet

The amount you pay for a bottle of fish oil can be deceptive. It’s not how much a bottle costs, but rather the amount you pay for 1,000 mg of the health-promoting ingredients EPA and DHA contained in the oil. If you look at our comparison, you’ll see that ultra-pure Life's Abundance Fish Oil represents one of the best values on the market today. In addition, you’ll also notice that our fish oils also contain sesame lignans and astaxanthin, two key ingredients that enhance the health-promoting qualities of fish oil.

Your Health

In its unpurified form, fish oil contains many contaminants, some of which can be harmful to your health. To purify the oil takes many steps, each one adding to the cost of manufacturing. It is important to buy your fish oil from a company that not only says it purifies the oil, but one that is willing to share the results from every batch made with you, so you can know you and your family are safe.

The Solution

Life's Abundance omega-3 fish oil supplements are highly concentrated and ultra pure and they meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for quality assurance. In fact, each and every batch of Life's Abundance Fish Oil is tested by an independent third party organization (IFOS) and the results are posted right here so you can see the quality, concentration and purity that ultra-pure fish oil supplements can offer you and your family.
Multivitamin
Unfortunately, four out of five people don't get the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals through food alone. That's why supplementing your diet with a multivitamin is so important.

To ensure a balance between getting just enough and not overdoing it, we formulated our Life’s Abundance Multivitamin. This unique supplement provides you with a focused approach to daily wellness. That’s important because instead of bombarding your body with an endless list of vitamins and minerals, like other dietary supplements, we included only the nutrients you need for optimal health and nothing you don’t. Plus the proprietary spice blend and black pepper fruit extract in this supplement, supply you with an additional nutrition boost.

This multivitamin supplement is in vegan-friendly, veggie capsules that do not contain magnesium stearate. The capsules are made from cellulose, which not only helps protect sensitive ingredients but also breaks down and delivers nutrients more quickly than the compressed tablets you can find on store shelves.

Life’s Abundance Multivitamin is a wise choice for those who wish to take a sensible, focused approach to daily supplementation!
Greens Blend
Our Greens Blend nourishes your body with a blend of raw, certified-organic grasses plus certified, organic mushrooms.

Our organic raw greens are grown in glacial soil and cut at peak harvest before the jointing stage, so you're getting the best quality greens. Because they are raw, they retain more nutrients than cooked greens.

To boost this formula’s nutrient value, we added a certified organic blend of reishi, maitake, and shitake mushrooms to provide a vegetarian source of iron and B vitamins, and also a great source of phytonutrients and antioxidants.

Life’s Abundance Greens Blend has a delicious-yet-subtle berry flavor and silky smooth texture. It mixes easily with water or into your favorite smoothie. It is one of the best tasting GMO-free greens blends on the market and leaves no "grassy" aftertaste.

At only 25 calories per serving, this nutrient dense supplement is a simple way to help you consume the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
