Food plays a big part in mental health, studies have shown that omega-3, vitamin-B, vitamin-D, amino acids, and different minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and iron play a key role in good mental health. [1]

Avocado is a great food source for vitamins and minerals, as it contains almost 20 minerals and vitamins like B6, C, E, K, and folate. [2] Avocados also contain tryptophan and the highly valuable omega-3 essential fatty acid.

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that helps regulate the neurotransmitters and avoid inflammation in the brain, whereas tryptophan is the precursor of serotonin which is our ‘feel-good’ hormone. Serotonin stabilizes the mood, feeling of happiness, and well-being.

Avocados are rich in other fatty acids that help in maintaining a healthy nervous system and cognitive processes [3]. Fatty acid also helps in balancing the level of the hormone in the body resulting in a healthy and depression-free brain.

Avocados are also rich in folic acid that is part of the vitamin B family. Folic acid prevents excessive accumulation of homocysteine in the body which is naturally produced in the body. Homocysteine affects the production of serotonin and dopamine which regulate the mood.

Now you can see the scientific reasoning behind the suggestion that avocados may be natural mood boosters.

There’s more: Avocados have a high amount of choline that boosts levels of serotonin in the body. They also contain vitamin E that gives the skin freshness and shine. By adding avocados to your daily diet, you may be able to improve the quality of your sleep and have a better mood when you wake up.

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
