4. The brain needs better nutrition to really thrive...
like omega-3 fatty acids--"a sardine a day keeps depression away" (also anchovies!)

Also, medium chain saturated fatty acids found in coconut boost the omega-3's. (Yum, puddings and other desserts made with coconut milk and no sugar.) :-)

Finally, magnesium (lost in refined flours and cereals) and B vitamins (same) really make us feel secure and happy, and cut the craving for sugar, too.

Sunshine, walking, hugs, and talking out feelings in a supportive environment--hey, also singing, and going to church (a real one)--all of these are so much better than deadening your hurt with meds.

The world is a magnificent place, and you are a blessing to it!

God bless.
