Stuff like this should be taught in school. Much of what kids are taught needs to be re thought for the times we live in.
Well, I'm a teacher and I just showed this to my class as a discussion starter.
yay, teachers who care about stuff
well, think of it. had the kids been taught the " good/right stuff, the junk food industry would collapse as well as and many other, too.
It's not enough to simply educate but to demonstrate the practically of such information. Children may know that this food is good and that food is bad. Like, "everyone knows a carrot is good for you, and that Doritos are bad," but since me and my friends eat the bad stuff all the time, it's okay, right? Well, no, it isn't. But children won't understand the application of the information. We might need to educate adults / parents on this. Even then, it's worthless if they don't follow up on it. What good is knowledge if we don't use it?
As a student, I agree
When I was a teenager and in my early 20’s I used to eat fast food, processed foods (chips, candy, ramen noodles), and sugary drinks. I used to feel awful mentally, physically, and emotionally. After I got pregnant I decided I wanted to change my diet to more healthier foods to help the developing baby. I found that eating right and exercising I felt better and really helped my body adjust to my new life as a mother, plus the baby was so healthy. We still continue to eat healthy to this day
Thanks for sharing. You and your family are doing each other a big favor living like this, and maybe even your close proximity benefits from this type of living consequently.
Take care.
i have allergies eyes and oily skin my whole life.. after quitting sugary drinks for ONLY two weeks they're all gone now! but i cant stop thinking about them sweet frappuccino , its driving me insane and moody all the time..i walking around like an addict i feel like an addict!
Bless you keep the healthy routine for the rest of your life
Bruh i thought you were a boy but when you said i got pregnant was so confused 😂
There is still whole wheat, brown ramen noodles (a healthier option)

brain is the most powerful organ in your body - said brain
Albino Cake “the brain named itself”
The brain also tries to solve how it works through humans.
There is a conflict of interest.. Brain endorsing itself...
We shouldn't believe on this...😂
My wife would disagree 👍
The brain is pretty arrogant
Having healthy eating habits can completely change the way your brain works. This is a critical topic, and I think this should be considered in the school program.
Thanks for sharing awareness.
The food pyramid was taught in my school.
Also in the cafeteria!!!
@@MrBrown-yw4oe it was taught for like 11 minutes to me in gym class in 4th grade😹
I hope scientist can quickly make meat and sugary food have the benefits of the healthier food while still retaining their delicious taste
@@heroshinx693 The key is finding the foods and flavours you enjoy! You don't need to live a life of leafy greens and quinoa while restricting all sugar and carbs. Find a variety of foods (both sweet and savory) and find a balance that works for you. I struggled for years, despising any healthy people cuz it always was abrasive and felt forced. But once you start listening to what foods your body does and doesn't like, what works for you and become more aware of what you're eating (you don't need to calorie count or do anything other than be more involved and present of what you tend to eat) it goes from forcing healthy eating to eating simply for the nutrition your body needs. I recommend you check out intuitive eating because while I am the "healthy person of my group" I eat just as much "bad things" as those I know, but the difference is that I started eating for myself and to really benefit me, it's made a world of difference with eating. I'm able to enjoy the kale salads and quinoa for the nutrition it gives me, but I also enjoy a refreshing sprite and some occasional M&Ms. Find YOUR balance and I say that's all we need. After all, we were made from and evolved from the non processed foods so while I still enjoy my walmart and Mcydonald's runs, It's always nice to come back to a balanced meal to further fuel myself for the days ahead.
Most of this comes not from a "you should stop focusing on processed foods and attempt to replace it with non processed foods" but more of a once I started eating more intuitively and listening to what my body wants and not labeling foods as "good" or "bad" and I started to learn why eating right is important and how foods affect my body, it really made not only overall life more easy and enjoyable but it brought more overall wellbeing to food itself.

I used to think that I had Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.), a problem that makes you feel depressed when the weather's no good, but then I cut sugar out of my diet (aside from whole fruits) and I realized I do not have S.A.D. Essentially, sugar was negatively affecting my mood... now, I'm pretty much happy all the time, even on gloomy days!
Shawn Treelife wow, thanks for sharing!!! I think this is the case for me too, but when you’re feeling sad it’s hard not to reach for comfort foods that provide a moment of pleasure
Huh, I guess people really have different reactions to different foods, I get super energised with mood boost with sugary foods, like chocolate or sweets. And best is, I don't have food coma from this
@@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735 I'm ultra-sensitive. Fruit sugar and lactose are the only sugars I can eat and not feel like I'm dying a slow and painful death....

@@XPrincess30 - Cookies were comfort food for me, too... it was really hard to give them up, but I did it! I still snack on a lot of salty treats, though... haha...
I love this, it's so true. Many people don't realize how much processed, sugar filled foods, etc, have such a bad effect on our brains, and how healthy foods full of phytonutrients have such a positive effect! This is an amazing video
I eat all the fast foods, junk food, fries, coca cola, pepsi, 4-5 energy drinks a day, 2 packs of cigarettes per day, 8-9 cofees with alot of sugar per day, alot of chokolate, alot of cookies, alot of chips, candies....and I started to have problems with my heart, I feel with no powers, I sleep all day long, I don't see the sun light, sometimes I wake up late in the night after I sleep all day....It's because of the drink and food I eat? HELP
@ONLY Romanian: Everything you’re eating explains it all. The video tells you a lot, but if you need extra help, exercising by doing stretches, lightweight lifting, or just some light cardio like 20 to 30 minutes of walking are all highly beneficial. Also seeing a professional dietitian and possibly a physical therapist can help a lot too. But to do these things you have to try. Because unfortunately help can’t simply come to you. You have to get it yourself-no offense whatsoever. Best wishes and lots of hope to you. 🤗✌️
@@Kaytran97 I practiced kickboxing 6 years and feeling great in this period, unfortunately in the last 3 years I didn't go to trainings and eat and drink all of this, I will start training and try to eat right, this is the only way to put myself in good shape again.THANK YOU
I just hope human can evolve so we can whatever we want without thinking of whether it healthy and can choose not to do exercise or maybe technology can help
@@heroshinx693 Well, it would be impossible. If you want to be healthy, there needs to be some effort put into it. It might be hard financially, but it’s still a thing that should be considered when trying to be healthy.
Somehow I learn more watching TED's vids rather than learning in school..
then again, school is a place that tells you to remember all the word's definition, all Princess/Prince/President's birth and death date,and don't actually give you a valid life choice before college, so......
Well then it makes sense about a previously believed to be weird story happened in one of the red light destrict buildings in Frankfurt - Hauptbahnhof or Eben Strasse there was lots of PUF's in one of them I heard a story which sounded weird: There was a guy or actually more guys that turned up off and on to visit he working ladies but these guys wanted nothing else only semen asked the ladies to collect them semen and they will pay 300 Euros for semen. They drink it. No sex nothing. I found this rather weird of story but now it makes me think.... heavy
Oh, tell me what exactly did you learn from this video about how neurotransmitters work or what they are made of, or how a cell membrane is built. You learned absolutely no details about any of those things, you just recieved some general knowledge. Which is still great, but not enough to have the complex knowledge that studying medicine for example requires. And you are provided with that knowledge in school. Even if it's a lot more boring than some animations on a 5 min video.

Most of what we learn at school is useless and probably will forget it the next year
aya But as the years go on you are gradually learning to learn more and more independently. That's what's valuable, not the content. "Teach a man to fish" and all that.

That is complete bs programming. We have literally trillions of cells that started from one single parent cell and never needed any kind of outside source to grow.
The only reason a cell dies is because poisonous introduced to it .
Anything that is put in the mouth is treated as a toxin by the body it doesn’t matter what it is water fruit it doesn’t matter your body treated as a Tocsin. As soon as you put something in your mouth, your body produces mucus to try to expel it from your body.
You were on a program
A slavery consumerist program
You are under mind control
You will consume until the day you die
Or you can break free from your programming and groupthink detach from all these pleasures that are killing, you heal and actually live as a free person
About 2.5 years ago I saw this video for the first time, it really made me think about what I ate and since I’ve eaten with much more awareness, mostly plant based whole foods packed with nutrients, thanks!

This is very true. When I eat good my depression seems to disappear but I stop eating greens and start eating junk food my depression comes back. It's amazing how food affects us and it's also amazing how oblivious we are to the truth. You literally are what you eat.
i started eating healthy and i am so proud :)
Congrats 👏🏼👏🏼❤️✨
yooo. F
And I’m proud of you
:)
proud of you ((((:
See, if I was taught the reasoning behind why I need to eat healthy as a kid, rather than just being told "cause its good for you" then I probably wouldn't have such an awful, sugary processed food diet. I wish things like this would be explained to kids because I've found that when understanding the "why" to something, its much easier to do/practice. And some people may think this is too complicated for kids to understand, but you would be surprised at how intelligent even kindergarteners can be when info is presented in an interesting and/or fun way.
That's so many topics, but especially medical things. That being said, people discard all sorts of good information all the time.
I completely agree with this 💯 I used to ask WHY about Everything as a kid, & I hated not getting answers. Educate these kids!🙏
i find that the more bad food I eat, I just become slower overall. So just eat better and you'll think more clearer lol it's that simple
you're body is a machine feed it right and you will feel right :)
anythingnew Overeating what? That's too vague of a statement. Overeating mixed veggies and salmon will not have the same effects of overeating little Caesar's pizza and breadsticks.
I indulge myself with a bowl of instant ramen noodle yesterday (340 kcal), knowing it's mostly junk. It tasted synthetically "tasty", but then I spent the rest of the day drinking water trying to flush its taste and effect from my body.
I should've known better, really, but healthy diet journey isn't always a straight line, I suppose.
Dave Fischer Thanks I have been not focusing I can’t even remember things from what I learn in school not even 5 seconds after a lesson.

i am now in a crisis of "what the heck do i have for breakfast?"
Clara Talantseva oats
My current favorite breakfast is a cup of water-cooked oatmeal with cinnamon and a little vanilla, a cooked egg, and a few almonds, berries, or misc. fresh fruit/veg either on the side or mixed in with the oatmeal. The whole thing takes maybe fifteen minutes, usually is fewer than 250 kilocalories, and keeps me going for a good couple hours! Different spices and fruits/nuts/vegetables also help keep me from getting too bored with the meal.

School: *serves spaghetti and chicken tenders*

That's not even that unhealthy. People lack knowledge of healthy food, too.

Very interesting! I've found that, since my concussion last year, if I eat sugar, dairy or something junky, I'm basically useless the rest of the day. Most people don't think about how the food they eat directly affects their body
Wow, i had my concussion 3 years ago and ever since my brain and body crash if I eat those (not sure about dairy).
I used to be like that, its cause they dont know what the other side is rly like. I didnt realize how much the junk food I ate rly messed with me until I slowly started eating healthy. I gotta say, I jus wish I started earlier.
Then youre probably lactose intolerant, dairy is quite healthy for lactose tolerant people
I'm tryin' to quit junk food but it's almost impossible, if I don't take my daily sugar dosis I feel like I want to die. Completely numb the entire day, I'm more agressive, antipathic, anxious and like semi-depressed,
@@BlackRainShooter I wouldn't recommend straight up quitting some of the sweets, that'll jus lead to a harder relapse and to a worsen state (based of my experience). I'd suggest goin bout it in a slow process. for example, if u eat 5 chocolate bars a day, try 4 for couple days and if it seems like 4 do able, cut another one out, if not eat 4 couple more days. Rinse and repeat this cycle. I can't say it's gonna work for u but, I'm just basing this of my experience .
I am in love with the guy doing the voice over....just so therapeutic to listen to his voice, almost hypnotic. I can absorb more information about anything when it's filtered through a voice like his. Thank you, Addison.

I’d love to see a list of foods or diet that goes along with this information. So that we can try and maintain that balanced diet.
They mentioned several foods and you need to eat a variety so it's not super helpful to list a few.
Truth is everyone is different. You can study some of the different diets and then try them to see which works for you. You can make small changes at first so it’s doable and not overwhelming.
if you search "food pyramid of mediterranean diet" you can easily find out what kind of diet is the most complete and healthy ;)!
I personally think a diet isn’t the best way to go about it. I try to eat as much homemade food as possible so I know what’s going into my body. If you do, it helps to research into the nutritional contents of the base ingredients (and oils especially). Recently more than anything I’ve just been trying to eat less sugar and more vegetables though
Love the animation style this episode. It's crazy!
I watched this video at least 3 times over. It´s so well done. I love the graphics, and the narration. Thanks for this lesson!

Well said friend. Buddhism holds a concept that we 'inter-are' to put it simply. What was once vague 'spiritual' views are being made physical so as to bring understanding to the layman. Even the bible exhorts us to eat to edify the other in the new testament (Paul, on forbidden foods). Stay blessed.

You don't have to cut that kind of stuff out entirely from a healthy diet.
it is the sugar if i eat a donut now i get very happy and full of energy, then come the crash, plus i will get fat again , worked to hard to fix the mess i made of myself
+steve o Blueberries slow the absorption of sugar into the blood, thus preventing a high blood sugar and subsequent crash.
i do not consider any sugar from fruit to bad the same bad as enrich white sugar, i am not SCIENCE PERSON JUST HOW BERRY A APPLE I GET NO CRASH
Since tracking my food and understanding what different foods do for me, my energy and concentration is through the roof. I'm more proactive, positive and happy.
This needs to be taught more, especially to those suffering with mental illness. I’m not a doctor, but from personal experience the ones I have seen suffer with mental illness have a poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle. Makes a huge difference. Not saying it will cure (although many times it will) and there is always a time and place for medication, but natural remedies and lifestyle changes should be pushed before harsh medication with a list of side effects

Meat eaters talk about anti-nutrients vegans talk about carcinogens and toxins in meat. The father of medicine said let food be thy medicine. All food is good and a variety is key. We need to stop isolating molecules in the food and look at as a whole. Most studies use bad base products and don’t use organic unsprayed food so the studies are not reliable most of the time. Eat and enjoy i’ve seen more people having anxiety about eating then enjoying it. Relax know you’re blessed and being thankful will help you digest your food.
Start growing food start a worm compost bin in your house or outside all you have to do is get a plastic container throw some dirt in and worms and throw in your table scraps. It’ll be the best fertilizer.
Eat nothing but hole food learn how to cook and you’ll be stronger and live a good life. Exercise so your blood circulates because blood carries nutrients throughout the body. Practice distress techniques because stress affects your blood flow. Take a walk if you’re stressed if you get back and you’re still stressed take another walk. Practice forgiveness find a hobby that keeps your hand and mind busy and love everyone because we are all brothers and sisters. Love and peace ☮️
And most importantly thank Jesus because a true friend suffers with you and holds your hand through fire and will sacrifice their life for yours.

How the food you eat affects your brain - Mia Nacamulli
Most of the weight of a dehydrated brain comes from Fats, Proteins, amino acids, micronutrients and glucose. The brain is more than just that.
But each component distinct impact on functioning, developing, development, mood and energy.
Fats: omega 3 and 6 (fatty acids) brain conditions: nuts, seeds and fatty fishes is curtail to the creation and maintenance of cell membrane. While omegas are good for your brain, long term consumption of other fats like trans and saturated fats may compromise brain health. Protein and amino acids are manipulated how we feel and behave. Amino acids contain the precursors to the neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that carry signals between neurons affecting things like mood, sleep, attentiveness and weight. We feel calm after eating large plate of pasta, or more alert after protein rich meal. Complex combinations of compounds in foods can stimulate brain cells to release mood altering norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin. But getting to your brain cells is tricky and amino acids have to compete for limited access. A diet with a range of foods helps maintain a balanced combination of brain messengers and keeps your mood getting squid in one direction or the other. Like the other organ in our bodies, our brain is also benefit of a steady supply of micronutrients. Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables. Strengthen the brain to fight off free radicals that destroy brain cells. Enabling your brain to work well for a longer time. And without powerful micronutrients like the vitamin b6,12 and folic acids. Our brain will be susceptible to brain disease and mental decline. Trace amounts of minerals, iron, zink, cupper and sodium are also fundamental for brain health and early cognitive development. In order for the brain to efficiently transform and synthesize valuable nutrients it means fuel and lots of it. While the humans brain makes up to 2% of our body weight, it uses up to 20% of our energy resources. Most of this energy comes from carbohydrates that our body digest into glucose or blood sugar. The frontal lobes are so sensitive to drops in glucose in fact, that a change in mental function is one of the primery signals. Of nutrient deficiency. Assuming we are getting glucose regularly, how does the specific type of carbohydrates we eat affect our brains? Carbs come in three forms, starch, sugar and fibers. While on most nutration labels they are all lumped into one total carb count the ratio of the sugar and fiber subgroups to the whole amount affect how the body and brain respond. A high glycemic food, like white bread causes a rapid release of glucose in the brain. And then comes the dip. Blood sugar shoots down, and with it, out attention span and the mood. On the other hands, oats, grains and legumes have slower glucose release. Enabling a stedier level of attentiveness. For sustained brain power opting for a varied diet of nutrient-rich foods is critical. When It comes to what you bite, chew or swallow. Your choices have a direct and long -lasting effect on the most powerful organ in your body.

I am currently recovering from anorexia nervosa and this video has really helped me realize why I need to eat more food and why my brain has been foggy for a long time. THANK YOU ~~
In early autumn I was feeling down and tired. I upped both my protein intake and the amount of berries in my diet, and I felt better within a week. What you put in your mouth has a giant effect on your brain health and function.
I hope you have had a successful road to recovery!
This topic is so important I think this is the staff they have to teach at schools. No wonder that I became more energetic since my healthy diet. Children eat so much junk nowadays I am afraid for their future(btw not only children). This has to be taught from very young age for people to think and grow healthy.
I notice a significant different in the way i feel everyday since eating a healthy diet everyday. I dont get anxiety anymore and I sleep like a baby now. Exercise is definitely important as well to overall well being
Nicholas Reese What is some of your go-to healthy food?

I was looking this!
Yo mr white
2:44 I love that pear so much XD that's my spirit animal
I don't think that's an animal XD
Kinza Anwar Obviously it’s not. Spirit animal is more of an expression it’s not a term to be taken literally.

I have this thing that I like to call "Sugar Depression", which is exactly as it sounds.
Sometimes, because of sugar I go in to a small (Sometimes not so small) Depression.
and usually the only way to solve it, is to avoid sugar for a while, do some physical activity and try to ingore it and acknowledge its because of sugar.
A sugar high, then low and a stupor. It is a very powerful drug
Me too, I eat a lot of sugar and smoke 2 packs of cigaretes per day, and i eat fast foods too
Video: eating nuts can help you sleep and be positive.
Me, allergic to all nuts: 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗲
Maybe you could look up other foods, like seeds and vegetables that offer similar nutritional benefits to nuts 😄 for example, almonds have a good amount of magnesium, but so do pumpkin seeds
Sunflower seeds are also delicious; nutty but not nuts 😋
Yoshikage Kira man must b harsh I am grateful
🤣🤣🤣 oh dear, may I suggest you steer clear, if not then I fear, a dreadful end may be near! ... seriously though, sorry for your allergy and do take care.
ua-cam.com/video/K3SDtX_UZoQ/v-deo.html hi...
Thank you. This just opened a new field in my mind. The field of food-brain relationship.
Awww how refreshing. A nutritional video on UA-cam where I agree with everything said. Thanks teded. Awesome as always
Cutting out processed foods and processed sugar, enabled me to remove six prescription drugs I was supposed to be on for life. I was taking 120 pain pills a month, depression meds., steroid creams for skin rashes and three additional drugs. (I also lost 40 pounds and have kept it off for eight years) Most of us treat our bodies like a city waste facility until our health is taken from us. This is exactly what happened to me. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome. And given no hope from the medical Doctors. Now is the time to take care of yourself, before you end up in dire straits as I did.
Hi Brian, that's great to hear mate. Would you mind sharing the diet that appears to be working for you so far? What changes did you make to switch away from fast foods? I think a lot of people have the bad diets they do out of convenience, so I'm curious how you implemented yours. Thanks.
@@jimbuckley341 very true jim
@@jimbuckley341 Jim did you receive my reply? I don’t see it posted.
I am a male I am 65" tall and weigh about 125 lbs. I work at wal-mart and witness eating atrocities on a daily basis. For lunch every night I will start with a salad, then eat my main course usually consisting of something high in protein ie. salmon or carbs ie. pasta then finish with a dessert of some type of fruit ie. pineapple, mango, or cherries and flush it down with water.
I have never seen a single person eat a decent nutritious meal at work. A typical meal for everyone else consists of a bag of chips, a 20 oz bottle of soda (usually not their first one nor last for the night), and some type of frozen meal ie. bagel bites or chicken fingers!
Do these people not care or are they just ignorant of what real food is?
Great Video BTW!
+16patie pretty sure he meant 65 inches tall
65" is 5 foot 5 inches
The majority is just ignorant of what real food is. People have been wrongly informed their entire lifes. And if they do know that junk food is not healthy, they do not realise how UNhealthy it is. You eat something unhealthy, but don't feel ill or sick rightaway. You do not notice any adverse results the next day either. So people think 'no harm done'. That their arteries are clogging up and they cannot fight off cancerous cells as well, is not seen. It might take their body 20 to 30 years before the serious damage is seen. And the worst thing is: people pass this on to their kids as well. How to cook and eat healthy should be a mandatory subject in schools for a long enough time. Instead they buy their soda's and chocolate bars in the school's hallway. That should be illegal.
I'm pretty sure people don't really care and just whatever to get the day going, most of the time
16patie he would die

Well, what we eat has a huge effect on all organs really. Not just the brain.
I used to eat junk food when I studied at the university and I remember that I felt badly.
Now I'm putting all my efforts to get used to eating fruit and vegetables. To be honest, it's easier said than done, but I'm eager to see changes in my body.
Thanks for the video and for reminding that to eat healthy food is important to us
How is it going for you with your diet?
Thank you soo much. I can't describe how much I appreciate this channel.
I love this lesson..!! The graphics and the content and the narration (as always) was very good!
This video makes me wanna invest in my health. Which I do but, even more 🙏🏻😊
Until you see a can of *Lay's©*
I bet you didn’t do it tho
I love this video. This is so true. When I was a teenager, I used to eat unhealthy, like not eating enough veggies and protein and ate sugary things every day. In turn, I felt terrible physically, mentally, and emotionally.
As I grow, I gradually become aware of how our daily diet affects us significantly. I now know how to eat healthy and maintain a nutritious diet, making me feel great every day and changing the way my brain works entirely.
Since I suffered a life changing brain injury four years ago, I have become noticeably more sensitive to how my brain reacts to different foods. I also have to eat a little every couple of hours due to my brain using up glucose at an increased rate because of my injury. A very interesting subject, but I could have done without learning about it through becoming disabled.
What happened?
Thanks for sharing your experience. I experience this as well having suffered a TBI.
Choosing a carnivore diet has helped me tremendously, but not completely.
@@jamesthornock8214 With TBI berries help allot, a Smoothie in the morning is wonderful
My favorite thing about this channel is that they're actual intellectual people in the comment and not just MEmEs
Eating a really colourful & health-conscious plant-based lunch while watching this I love these videos, & believe this sort of info is important to share. Thanks, Ted-Ed
Crap I haven't watched the video but I already know this'll make me feel guilty about eating a bowl of ice cream rn...
did it?
Lol
+Valentina G. I'm doing the exact same thing
Eat that sugar! Eat it!
+Dantick09 Ice cream is sugar!!? 😐
No money can buy health or happiness. Working out, maintaining a social life, and managing stress has been my main driver for good health. I also watch my diet very closely, I have adding vitamins, whole foods, and lately also Probase Nutrition Collagen Peptides, which have made a huge difference.
This made me guilty of never eating vegetables or fruits
c l a u d i a Who's that?
621tan wat, how come U haven't eaten fruits Nd vegetables, r u living in a Desert or something bruh.
Jack Nicholson has the same problem, don't worry... :D
are you the carnivore? At least be a Omnivore
That´s your emotional system working! Good for you!
Out of 20 videos Ive searched on this topic, this is the best and most clear.
A whole video made for a brain to tell other brains, how good nutrition become them better brains.
Oh man... evvery time I listen to this voice, I'm waiting for the question at the end... i just love your riddles :D Please do more of them ^^
Recovering from severe iron deficiency, made me realize how bad I was treating my body and brain. So, be gentle with your body and don't malnourished it, because your body will respond to you the same way you treated it.
Amen! Thank you for the reminder :)
Hello Dea, can I ask you how did you end up with iron deficiency? what were you eating and what do you eat now?
Me too, i also lack calcium and iron, i have constant headache, difficulty to breathe, back pain and tired. i've been suffering my whole life thinking it was nothing...
@@princessirulancorrino4695 Hey Sabine, sorry for the late reply. I ended up with iron deficiency because I was malnourishing myself by eating chocolate bars and drinking 4-5 Espresso during the day. I did this because I didn't have enough energy to resist during the day and the headaches were horrible. This was caused from iron deficiency but I didn't know that. I was a student and also working so basically I didn't have much time to take care of my health. Now I am a lot more healthier and made my health my number one priority. I go to gym and eat lots of vegetables and fruits every day. Oh, and I also cook food from scratch every single day. :)
Wish you all the best! ♥
@@nekomiruku Look I can't give you a professional medical advice, but you should definitely go to a doctor. No matter what, your health should be your number one priority in your life. Sending you lots of love and hope you get better soon! ♥
“You are what you eat”. Dari kecil suka bnget makan gorengan/segala makanan yg digoreng, tp kurang seimbang makan serat buah/sayur. Katanya klo sering jerawatan jg salah satunya gara” ada gangguan pencernaan terutama di usus. Skrg masih proses pemulihan klo minum obat”an terlalu keras ke lambung takut luka lagi, jadi paling penyembuhan nya dari minuman air rebusan herbal alami ke lambung jg aman, trus pola makan/porsi makan n jenis makanan dijaga harus dikukus/direbus, jangan makan yg digoreng dan asam pedas harus dihindari. Proses penyembuhan agak lama tapi harus sabar saya yakin bisa sembuh total lg. Smoga tahun ini target berat badan bisa normal kembali 🙏
I've watched this several times, this stuff is fascinating. Someone i know struggles with depression and mood disorders and doesn't eat any fish at all. I'm convinced it's a lack of omega 3s that's a big contributing factor
If they hate fish recommend that they eat walnuts instead! 1 oz will give 234% of the daily recommend value of omega 3 and 90% of the daily recommend value of omega 6! And 1 oz is only 185 calories. If they hate walnuts they could also try chia seeds! It's very high in omega 3 (1 tablespoon is 162% DRV) , not so much in omega 6 (1 tablespoon is only 5% DRV). However chia seeds are pretty high in fiber for only being 49 calories per tablespoon, so they could improve their digestive health. You want to add chia seeds to some kind of liquid about 15 minutes before consumption though because they absorb a lot of moisture (up to 12x their body weight) and you don't want them to absorb the moisture from inside of you, you'll become dehydrated lol. Most people add them to smoothies, though I add them to teas as well. Scientists are still learning a lot about our gut microbiome, but they pretty much all say that our gut is our second brain so gut/digestive health is important.
You can get omega 3s and proteins from other things besides fish. I'm a 20 year vegatarian, who hasn't ate a speck of fish in that time, and I eat a lot of nuts and legumes, both of which are also very high in protien and omega 3s. ;) There's a lot more to medical depression and mood disorders then just what you eat though, as helpful as this video is.
@@vulpixlover4ever This is exactly what I do. If my protein is low (vegatarian), I snack on walnuts and soy nuts like crazy. And love adding the chia seeds to smoothies! :)
I'm going to eat more healthily... I've literally eaten nothing but apple pie and cake for the last three days
that sounds amazing to me
***** It was but I feel like crap now lol
The Marie Antoinette diet.
The apple pie sounds great! The cake, yeah, that stuff can really be a "downer" if you eat more than a slice or two... :^\
R. Brooks lmao it'll be trending soon

This guy’s voice is very calming
This video does a great job at explaining what I recently learned. I just wish I had known this all my life.
I always think of our bodies as organic computers. This is super interesting!
Cutting way back on processed/refined sugars and white flour has helped my energy levels a lot.
The food u eat can have a major effect on ur mood that’s why when I eat junk food I feel depressed and unhappy

So my brown dad giving me almonds every day so it ‘strengthens my brain’ was correct all along?!
Absolutely. Bonus: almonds are a pretty decent source of magnesium.
