is Hypoglycemia causing your depression? August 14, 2009 |
Hi, Thank you for subscribing to The Overcoming Hypoglycemia Ezine. This is the sixth edition in the Overcoming Hypoglycemia Ezine series. If you have missed any of the previous copies of this Ezine you can view them here:
If you are hypoglycemic you may find yourself feeling depressed for no apparent reason. Depression is a persistent state of sadness, hopelessness or despair that is so severe that it can affect ones ability to function properly or carry out necessary day to day activities. It has been suggested that up to 70% of all sufferers of Hypoglycemia experience depression at some point
Could your Hypoglycemia have been misdiagnosed as depression? Many people suffering from Hypoglycemia go from doctor to doctor, or from psychologist to psychologist looking for the root cause of their depression, all the while ignoring one fundamental and very likely cause of their negative feelings-: their diet.
Many nutritionists and researchers have concluded that over consumption of the wrong sorts of foods can cause havoc on our body chemistry and one of the side effects of this can be depression. Sugars, and refined carbohydrates can give us a high, lifting our moods temporarily. However once the effects of these foods have worn off we find ourselves feeling lower than before. Eat too many of these foods and you will find yourself stuck in an addictive vicious circle.
So are you saying that my diet is causing all of my negative feelings of depression?
Although Hypoglycemia can cause depression I am not for a second suggesting that everyone who feels depressed is actually hypoglycemic. Depression is a very real and separate condition suffered by many, and in many cases prescribed medication may be what is required. However before embarking on any course of strong anti-depressants, it is essential that your diet is as 'clean' as possible, in order to get an accurate idea of how much of your depression is linked to your Hypoglycemia.
In my Ebook 'Overcoming Hypoglycemia' I discuss exactly what changes are necessary to help the hypoglycemic overcome their depression. You can purchase my Ebook here: https://www.hypoglycemia-diet-plan.com/hypoglycemia-ebook-information.html
In my next addition of my Ezine I will be talking about how exercise can benefit the hypoglycemic on the road to recovery Until Next time
