Has anyone ever heard of tyrosine? I take it in supplemental form (Twinlab L-Tyrosine) as prescribed by my naturopathic doctor. But pork and walnuts are high in tyrosine and I find that when I include these in my diet it REALLY helps to evelate my mood, naturally. I thought I would share this because I have been very blessed with the knowledge of how foods and nutrients influence our biochemistry, just like our thoughts, spiritual life, sleep, rest, exercise,hormones etc., etc. do.

Psalm91,
I had tuna salad w/ apples and walnuts and then for dinner I had pork! I think for the most part, I eat right, but I have my days when nothing will cure the chocolate craving but chocolate. Therefore, I get a Dove dark chocolate bar and eat the entire thing by myself.
Dark Chocolate is about the only type of chocolate that's good for you but it's high in fat, so you have to be careful.

This website has some good infomation on foods:

by eating healthy. I also printed out several of the recipes! Thanks so much for sharing! How did you locate this website? Do you have any others up your sleeve? (lol)

i have been struggling with the anxiety and depression for a few years now, always looking for a remedy, all the while as a health care personell, i should have looked at diet, after reading this, i ate tuna, the first meat substance i have consumed in 17 years. I also have been trying SJW for a few weeks so far.
