12 Essential Nutrients & Foods For Boosting Your Mental Health

Hello Self-Care Goddesses, and welcome to a very practical episode on Mental Health. Why practical? Because you’ll be able to get a grocery list of the top foods you should be buying that are good for your brain and boost your Mental Health.

So we know from my recent podcast episode that there is a connection between the food we eat affecting how we feel, which manifests in our moods. These top nutrients and the food that contain them are based on the research that was conducted by Dr. Drew Ramsey and Laura LaChance. The aim of the research was to investigate which foods are the most nutrient dense sources of nutrients demonstrated by the scientific literature to play a role in the prevention and promotion of recovery from depressive disorders.

Their research was an evidence based nutrient profiling system for depression, so they looked specifically at antidepressant foods. Through a systematic literature review they derived a list of Antidepressant Nutrients from 34 nutrients known to be essential for humans. The research identified the most nutrient-dense individual nutrients to prevent and promote recovery from depressive disorders and symptoms.

In this solosode I talk about the top 12 nutrients & foods that contain them. The highest scoring foods were bivalves such as oysters and mussels, various seafoods, and organ meats for animal foods. It’s not surprise to many that the highest scoring plant foods were leafy greens, lettuces, peppers, and cruciferous vegetables.

In order to make it easier for you to include these nutrients in your daily diet, I also talk about the top 10 food sources with the highest density of each of these 12 nutrients, and that are also some of my favourite by referring to myfooddata.com.

Be sure to check out my Blog for the printable version of the grocery list.
