Keto Diet Facts & Tips
What can pull me out of depression?
There is an interesting link between BDNF and depression. It’s been found that there is no way to diagnose depression. But, it was also found that people who are depressed have low levels of BDNF. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important molecule involved in learning and memory.
So an interesting question is how to enhance BDNF. All of the trials delivering BDNF into the central nervous system have failed. So, how can we enhance it naturally?
BDNF is basically a fertilizer for the brain. It helps with nerve growth, nerve differentiation, and the maintenance of the synapse between the nerves.
Benefits of BDNF:
It can help improve learning
It can help improve long-term memory
It helps higher thinking
It helps you think more clearly
It helps you become more mentally alert
It can decrease inflammation
It can increase the absorption of neurotransmitters
Things to help enhance BDNF and get out of depression:
Deep sleep (at least 7 high-quality hours of deep sleep)
Exercise (the fastest and most effective method of increasing BDNF)
Sunlight
Intermittent fasting and periodic prolonged fasting
Healthy Keto®
Avoiding sugar
Magnesium
