May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to highlighting the importance of caring for our mental well-being, which is as important as our physical health. To ensure optimal brain function, our brain requires proper nourishment. Approximately 20% of our daily caloric intake is allocated to fueling the brain. Carbohydrates, particularly glucose, are the primary metabolic fuel for this vital organ. Unfortunately, the majority of Western societies tend to follow a diet that lacks sufficient carbohydrates, with less than 40% of their calories coming from this essential nutrient. A diet comprising 70% or more carbohydrates would be more beneficial. Consuming carbohydrates from our diet has a direct impact on serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation. These dietary carbohydrates can effectively raise serotonin levels, acting as natural tranquilizers that alleviate depression and enhance mood. Dr. McDougall offers some natural remedies that can assist you and your loved ones in promoting mental well-being.
