Going Vegetarian Is Proven To Improve Mental Health!

A diet high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains has been shown to improve mental health, at least in part due to the effect a vegan or vegetarian diet has on the enteric nervous system. Half of this is caused by the effect a vegetarian diet has on stabilizing blood glucose levels. The remaining half is resultant from the effect of a vegetarian diet on the human enteric nervous system, also known as "the second brain" or "brain in the gut." This second brain is responsible for signaling the first brain when it is time to eat again. On the contrary, a diet high in meats, and saturated animal fats leaves several pounds of undigested solid toxic waste essentially super glued to the walls of the intestines, interfering with the absorption of essential vitamins and nutrients from the healthy foods you DO eat. It is this toxic waste that contributes to unhealthy hormone levels and violent mood swings, genetic damage, chronic disease, and early mortality. The average American carries around an approximate 10 pounds of toxic waste in the form of undigested feces, in nearly all cases that 10 pounds of waste consists of foods like animal proteins (meat, fatty cheeses) and other highly processed foods void of fiber or nutrients. The enteric nervous system consists of over 100 million nerve cells lining the gastrointestinal tract—from the esophagus to the rectum—that control digestion independently, regulate emotions, and communicate directly with the brain in the skull. (John Hopkins Medicine 1.) Roughly 90% of serotonin (a "happy chemical") is produced in the gut, meaning gut health directly influences mood and mental health.The ENS may trigger big emotional shifts experienced by people coping with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional bowel problems such as constipation, diarrhea, bloating, pain and stomach upset. Researchers are finding evidence that irritation in the gastrointestinal system may send signals to the central nervous system (CNS) that trigger mood changes. These new findings may explain why a higher-than-normal percentage of people with IBS and functional bowel problems develop depression and anxiety. That’s important data, because up to 30% to 40% of the population has functional bowel problems at some point.

"Just in from The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine; "A new study has found that people eating vegan and vegetarian diets improved their mental health. Plant-based eaters were less likely to experience anxiety and depression, had better cognitive restraint, and exhibited less emotional and uncontrolled eating than people eating a diet that included meat.1 Other studies have found that eating more fruits and vegetables improved mental well-being and short-term mental health. We are a dedicated team committed to crafting exceptional experiences. Our focus lies in providing reliable and innovative solutions, driven by a deep respect for quality and a genuine desire to exceed expectations." Global life expectancy is projected to rise by nearly five years to age 78 by 2050, making psychiatry increasingly relevant as mental health gains greater attention []. Emerging psychiatric research has highlighted the pivotal role of the gut microbiome in maintaining overall mental well-being. The vast ecosystem of microorganisms in our intestines not only aids digestion but also communicates with the brain through a complex, bidirectional pathway called the gut-brain axis []. This intricate connection means the balance and diversity of gut microbes can profoundly influence mood regulation, stress response, and cognitive function, establishing them as key players in mental health []. Consequently, attitudes toward vegan and plant-based diets have shifted, especially among younger generations, who view these diets as health-conscious choices and are driving their growing popularity [].://www.pcrm.org/news/health-nutrition/diets-without-meat-outperform-omnivorous-diet-multiple-mental-health-scores
