Why you may be feeling “burn out” or Meh!, instead of Mihi ☺

Hi there to everyone that reads these blogs, I haven't posted anything for while as I have been studying another nutrition course, so now I have completed and qualified as a Nutritionist. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot of information that really stems from eating the correct vegetables and fruits. I have added this information as I feel it is important right now. I'm still unsure how to add a title to this, so I will keep trying the options available to me.

I personally agree with this article, but I know there are other elements that are still being studied that cause our tiredness and gut breakdown, or Leaky Gut. Some of the vegetables and fruit we are told are good for us, are not, as they are anti-nutrients and will cause inflammatory results and illness along with the “burn out” or” I have hit the wall” kind of feeling.

Slowly removing foods like spinach, silverbeet, beetroot, Kumura, potatoes, raspberries, strawberries and nut, including almond products will start to heal your body and increase your energy levels so that you do not feel so drained or think you have brain fog. Also ensure you are drinking at least 6-8 glasses of clean water to flush your liver and kidneys.

Some excerpts from this article please check it out online, if you want more information as I am just highlighting a few paragraphs from the article.

Gut microbiota’s effect on mental health: The gut-brain axis

Increasing evidence has associated gut microbiota to both gastrointestinal and extra-gastrointestinal diseases. Dysbiosis and inflammation of the gut have been linked to causing several mental illnesses including anxiety and depression, which are prevalent in society today.

In this Covid-19 era it is important to ensure you are well hydrated as the Covid-19 medical treatment available here right now seems to have an effect of the liver or seems to go to the liver, which is why, I think, some people lose their sense of smell or crave something sweet for a few days after the medical treatment.

The article above is from NCIB goes on to talk about Probiotics and how your gut health helps the central nervous system… Probiotics have the ability to restore normal microbial balance, and therefore have a potential role in the treatment and prevention of anxiety and depression. This review aims to discuss the development of the gut microbiota, the linkage of dysbiosis to anxiety and depression, and possible applications of probiotics to reduce symptoms.

Recently, studies have emerged focusing on variations in the microbiome and the effect on various CNS disorders, including, but not limited to anxiety, depressive disorders, schizophrenia, and autism. From experiencing a brain aneurysm, I believe, this to have been a major contributor, so I do not eat all those vegetables that are high oxalates - just something I think has a connection that other health professionals are not willing to see just yet.

Thanks, please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

The microbiome is defined as all microorganisms in the human body and their respective genetic material. The microbiota is defined as all microorganisms in a particular location, such as the GI tract or skin. This distinction is relevant as this review will focus on the microbiota of the gut in the context of the gut-brain axis, though there will be discussion of the human microbiome where appropriate.

As infants consume increasing amounts of solid food, the microbiome is exposed to diverse energy substrates, developing its carbon metabolism… However, due to many factors including diet, environment, season, health status, it is almost impossible to define a “normal” microbiome for the average human population.

Despite the lack of regulations, patients prescribed mood-altering drugs may benefit from concomitant use of probiotics. The dysbiosis created by the prescribed medications, or resulting from the neurological disturbance itself, may be mitigated by the introduction of beneficial gut flora in a probiotic form. Ultimately, the question that needs to be addressed is can probiotics alone fix the problem, or do they need to be used with mood stabilizers?

You can read the rest if you search the title and i am sure you will find it enlightening. I speak about this in my book and know that it aids the brain and increases energy levels as I live it every day.
