I would say that I really do have much more energy and mental clarity. I am finding it much easier to study for longer and actually take in the information!!! I am feeling lighter and cleaner in my body - really detoxed.
Although I have been going to the gym around 3-4 times a week as well as juicing which probably has something to do with my extra energy and uplifted mood for sure!
Recently I read a very interesting paper on health and mental health. The world health organisation recently said that;
"there is no health without mental health"
I have to say that I agree with this 100%. In the paper I found (Citation can be found at the bottom) it was generally talking about the effects that mental health can have on other health conditions. One of the findings was that, mental disorders like depression, interact with other health conditions. The one that stuck out for me was that depression can be a risk factor for both fatal and non-fatal strokes! At this moment in time and in the future cardiac conditions are one the highest causes of mortality. It seems to me that if there is some way to prevent the onset of depression then we might be able to enhance peoples physical health?
Now, I am no professional and definitely in no position to advise on this matter, but surely be widening the knowledge of simple things such as juicing which have shown to have beneficial effects on peoples moods (see fat sick and nearly dead) we can begin to tackle this on going problem??
Hopefully in the future we will see some intervention of this kind in the NHS!!
