There are a lot of positive and amazing things that can happen in your body from doing fasting that go way beyond just losing weight and getting rid of your hunger. </p> <p><br></p> <p>I found a fascinating study that involves fasting improving mood. Here are a few things from the study:</p> <p>1. They found that orexin signaling activity increases. Orexin increases wakefulness, it increases dopamine, and it’s associated with happiness. </p> <p>2. Fasting can increase endorphin release. Endorphins increase pleasure and decrease pain. </p> <p>3. Fasting can increase CREB-TF, which signals certain genes that increase serotonin. </p> <p>4. It could increase BDNF, which can help you grow new brain cells.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Other things you could do to potentially help with depression:</p> <p> • Fish/cod liver oil (DHA, EPA)</p> <p> • Vitamin D</p> <p> • Choline </p> <p> • Whole eggs </p> <p> • Curcumin </p> <p> • High-fat diet </p> <p><br></p> <p>Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:</p> <p>Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional &amp; natural methods.
