Depression Self-Help Tips with ( Eat a Healthy, Mood-Boosting Diet )

What you eat has a direct impact on the way you feel. Aim for a balanced diet of protein, complex carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables.

• Don’t neglect breakfast. A solid breakfast provides energy for the day.
• Don’t skip meals. Going too long between meals can make you feel irritable and tired, so aim to eat something at least every 3-4 hours.
• Minimize sugar and refined carbs. You may crave sugary snacks, baked goods, or comfort foods such as pasta or french fries. But these “feel-good” foods quickly lead to a crash in mood and energy.
• Focus on complex carbohydrates. Foods such as baked potatoes, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, oatmeal, whole grain breads, and bananas can boost serotonin levels without a crash.
• Boost your B vitamins. Deficiencies in B vitamins such as folic acid and B-12 can trigger depression. To get more, take a B-complex vitamin supplement or eat more citrus fruit, leafy greens, beans, chicken, and eggs.
• Consider taking a chromium supplement. Some depression studies show that chromium picolinate reduces carbohydrate cravings, eases mood swings, and boosts energy. Supplementing with chromium picolinate is especially effective for people who tend to overeat and oversleep when depressed.
• Practice mindful eating. Slow down and pay attention to the full experience of eating. Enjoy the taste of your food.

Omega-3 fatty acids play an essential role in stabilizing mood.

Omega 3

Foods rich in certain omega-3 fats called EPA and DHA can give your mood a big boost. The best sources are fatty fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and some cold water fish oil supplements. Canned albacore tuna and lake trout can also be good sources, depending on how the fish were raised and processed.

You may hear a lot about getting your omega-3’s from foods rich in ALA fatty acids. Main sources are vegetable oils and nuts (especially walnuts), flax, soybeans, and tofu. Be aware that our bodies generally convert very little ALA into EPA and DHA, so you may not see as big of a benefit. Some people avoid seafood because they worry about mercury or other possible toxins. But most experts agree that the benefits of eating to servings a week of cold water fatty fish outweigh the risks.

Featured

Size & weight: It's small and light, yet absolutely huge.

HP TouchPad

The TouchPad measures 9.45" wide by 7.48" high by 0.54" deep. It weighs in at approximately 1.6 pounds (that's 740 grams if you're counting). So it's the perfect size to contain the sum of all human knowledge. And still have room for movies, games, apps, websites, email, texts, and just about anything else you can think of.

Processor: Think super fast.

It has a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core APQ8060 processor. Which is a fancy way of saying it has a big brain that gives you blazing speed³ and next-level multitasking. And graphics that quite frankly will knock your socks off. Unless you're not wearing socks, then it just knocks your shoes off.

Graphics:Nice

TouchPad comes with Qualcomm Adreno 220 core graphics capability. And even if you don't know what that means, you'll be so very glad you have it. Because your movies and games will seem ten times bigger and more real than the lightweight tablet you're holding in your hands.

Entertainment: Get lost for hours at a time.

TouchPad is a device for entertainment and immersing yourself in gaming action. Transfer your favorite songs from your personal collection and take them to go. And listen to your music with amazing sound quality thanks to Beats Audio™. Beats Headphones sold separately. Beats Audio™ lets you hear everything the way it was meant to be heard. Plus, let's see, there are Apps, including awesome games. Bon appétit.

Display:

Front and center on TouchPad is the 9.7-inch diagonal, LED-backlit, glossy multitouch display with IPS wide viewing-angle technology. Which means you don't have to be right in front of it to be blown away. Plus it has a special coating for easier cleaning and abrasion resistance. In other words, your eyes will be very happy and excited.

Camera: Seeing is believing.

TouchPad comes with an integrated webcam and digital microphone to enable video calling. So it isn't just a passive device for seeing, but a rich tool for doing. Communicating. And inspiring interaction and creativity.

Wireless support: Go here, there, and just about anywhere.

The built-in Wi-Fi on TouchPad lets you send and receive email or access the Internet at work, home, and your favorite hotspot. Plus its Bluetooth® technology provides wireless short-range communication or connectivity. Get up, move around, go somewhere else—your wireless world goes with you.

Power: Isn't electricity beautiful?

TouchPad comes with a two-cell rechargeable battery. That gives you up to approximately 8 hours of web browsing over Wi-Fi. TouchPad also comes with an external 10W A/C adapter. So you can keep the fun going indefinitely. That is, as long as you keep paying your power bill.

Sensors: You move, it moves with you.

Like a really good dance partner, the TouchPad accelerometer detects the way you move. It knows when you're holding it vertically or horizontally and adjusts accordingly. And better yet, it never steps on your feet.

ePrint

Print directly from your TouchPad, from anywhere with an internet Internet connection. Just send an email to any select HP printer's email address to print your work from the coffee shop across the street, or across the country.⁶ TouchPad brings the full power of HP’s printing over Wi-Fi capabilities to your fingertips. TouchPad can print to wireless enabled HP printers on a local Wi-Fi network or you can print to any ePrint enabled printer anywhere.
