Psychological Benefits of a Healthy Diet

The foods you eat can affect how your brain functions, and can alter both your mood and behavior, according to the Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders or EMD. When you are hungry you may become short-tempered or impatient. Eating a satisfying meal can leave you feeling relaxed and content. When your brain is deprived of proper vitamins, minerals and other nutrients such as protein, your problem-solving abilities may wane and you may experience memory lapses. Eating a healthy diet has a number of psychological benefits.

Promotes Brain Health

Certain foods that are part of a nutritionally balanced diet seem to protect brain cells and may lower the risk of stroke and heart disease, reports the Alzheimer’s Association.

Dark-skinned vegetables and fruits typically contain large amounts of antioxidants. Examples include broccoli, beets, spinach, kale, onion, red bell pepper, blueberries, blackberries, oranges, red grapes, prunes and raisins.

Other brain-healthy foods include omega-3 rich fish such as halibut, salmon and tuna. Certain nuts such almonds, pecans and walnuts support proper brain function due to their high vitamin E content.

Reduces Anxiety

A healthy diet can make you feel better and may help diminish anxiety, according to the Mayo Clinic. Increasing your intake of complex carbohydrates such as whole grains may boost serotonin levels in your brain, which can help calm your nerves. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain that affects sleep, mood and memory.

Helps Ward off Depression

Eating healthy meals can have a positive impact on your mood. In fact, a well-balanced diet can reduce stress and help prevent depression when it’s accompanied with adequate sleep and relaxation techniques such as meditation and yoga, notes the University of Michigan Health System, or UMHS.

Feelings of depression can range from mild to severe. If you have been feeling down for more than two weeks, talk to your health care provider. You may be suffering from clinical depression, and may require medications or therapy.

Relieves PMS Symptoms

A healthy diet that limits the amount of salt, sugar and caffeine may help diminish the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, PMS. Approximately one-third of pre-menopausal women suffer from PMS, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The psychological symptoms of PMS may include anxiety, irritability, moodiness, aggression and problems concentrating.

DESCRIPTION and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Please watch this video and then read the rest of post for information:

IMMUNOCAL is a U.S. patented natural food protein concentrate in the FDA category of GRAS (generally recognized as safe) which assists the body in maintaining optimal concentrations of glutathione (GSH) by supplying the precursors required for intracellular glutathione synthesis. It is clinically proven to raise glutathione values (Lands et al, 1999).

Glutathione is a tripeptide made intracellularly from its constituent amino acids L-glutamate, L-cysteine and glycine. The sulfhydryl (thiol) group (SH) of cysteine serves as a proton donor and is responsible for the biological activity of glutathione. Provision of this amino acid is the rate-limiting factor in glutathione synthesis by the cells since cysteine is relatively rare in foodstuffs and furthermore, if released as the free amino acid, is toxic and spontaneously catabolized in the gastrointestinal tract and blood plasma.

Immunocal is a bovine whey protein isolate specially prepared so as to provide a rich source of bioavailable cysteine. Following digestion, the cysteine remains as the stable form cystine (2 molecules of cysteine linked by disulfide bond) and glutamylcystine. After absorption, these dipeptides travel safely in the blood stream and readily enter the cells to release free cysteine for intracellular glutathione synthesis.

Immunocal can thus be viewed as a cysteine delivery system. The disulphide bond in cystine is pepsin and trypsin resistant but may be split by heat, low pH or mechanical stress releasing free cysteine. When subject to heat or shearing forces (inherent in most extraction processes), the fragile disulfide bonds within the peptides are broken and the bioavailability of cysteine is greatly diminished.
Glutathione is a tightly regulated intracellular constituent and is limited in its production by negative feedback inhibition of its own synthesis through the enzyme gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, thus greatly minimizing any possibility of overdosage.
Glutathione has multiple functions:

1. It is the major endogenous antioxidant produced by the cells, participating directly in the neutralization of free radicals and reactive oxygen compounds, as well as maintaining exogenous antioxidants such as vitamins C and E in their reduced (active) forms.

2. Through direct conjugation, it detoxifies many xenobiotics (foreign compounds) and carcinogens, both organic and inorganic.

3. It is essential for the immune system to exert its full potential, e.g. (1) modulating antigen presentation to lymphocytes, thereby influencing cytokine production and type of response (cellular or humoral) that develops, (2) enhancing proliferation of lymphocytes thereby increasing magnitude of response, (3) enhancing killing activity of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, and (4) regulating apoptosis, thereby maintaining control of the immune response.

4. It plays a fundamental role in numerous metabolic and biochemical reactions such as DNA synthesis and repair, protein synthesis, prostaglandin synthesis, amino acid transport and enzyme activation. Thus, every system in the body can be affected by the state of the glutathione system, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs.

Indications and Usage

IMMUNOCAL is a natural food supplement and as such is limited from stating medical claims per se. Statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. As such, this product is thus not intended to diagnose, cure, prevent or treat any disease.
Glutathione augmentation is a strategy developed to address states of glutathione deficiency, high oxidative stress, immune deficiency, and xenobiotic overload in which glutathione plays a part in the detoxification of the xenobiotic in question. Glutathione deficiency states include, but are not limited to: HIV/AIDS, chemical and infectious hepatitis, prostate and other cancers, cataracts, Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, radiation poisoning, malnutritive states, arduous physical stress, aging, and has been associated with sub-optimal immune response. Many clinical pathologies are associated with oxidative stress and are elaborated upon in numerous medical references.

Low glutathione is also strongly implicated in wasting and negative nitrogen balance (Droge and Holm, 1997), notably as seen in cancer, AIDS, sepsis, trauma, burns and even athletic overtraining. Glutathione supplementation can oppose this process and in AIDS, for example, result in improved survival rates (Herzenberg et al, 1997). Read the rest of this entry

I am a member of one the fastest growing network marketing teams in Immunotec! Our team is “The Immunotec Elite Team”. I am one of the Key Leaders of the team. I must admit that without the Leadership of Jeffrey Kistner and April Marie Tucker.

I would have never made it this far as quick as I have!! For that, I humble myself and have all the gratitude and respect for these two leaders. Please take a moment and watch the video ABOVE. Thank you.

Just because one thing is not working for you that does not mean that it is not right, if others have found success in that process you are perfectly capable of doing it too; and if still not possible then try something else. That should be the motto for every marketer.
