Depression
Hypoglycemia and depression
Chronic low blood sugar or hypoglycemia, results when the
pancreas loses its ability to secrete glucagons or anti-insulin
and raise blood sugar level.
Emotional outburst and mood swings are common, as
fluctuation of blood sugar levels cause the person to be
alternately manic and depressed. (bipolar)
Symptoms
They desires sweets a couple times of a day, especially after
2pm through evening, when the sun and atmosphere descend.
If sweets are not available, they experience fatigue, insomnia,
low energy, frustration and depression.
Their emotional ups and downs become extreme and their
human relationship unstable.
In the evening, they sometimes cannot even eat dinner, and
must lie down to rest.
At night, the body gets cold, especially hands and feet.
And they need to sleep longer since they cannot sleep/rest well.
In the morning, though, their blood sugar goes up, stamina
returns, and they feel normal and revitalized.
But in the afternoon, the cycle repeats again.
Also, relationship problems can easily arise.
Other common symptoms of hypoglycemia
Ruddy face
Irregular pulse
Allergy and dermatitis
Constipation/diarrhea
Muscle paralysis
Headache
Enteritis
Candida
Underlying causes
Hardening and stiffening of pancreases, which prevents it from
secreting glycogen.
Caused by long term consumption of foods such as :
Animal foods (eggs, poultry, cheese, meat)
Fish, sea food (shrimp, lobster, crabmeat, scallops, tuna etc)
Hard baked flour product (bread, crackers, pastry, etc)
As blood sugar drops, they crave food such as :
sugar and other sweets, as well as fruits/juice
stimulants(coffee, tea, alcohol, spices)
nightshade vegetables, tropical foods etc.
Recreational and/or prescription drugs
People with hypoglycemia feels an immediate release when
those foods raise blood sugar, and temporarily relax pancreas.
Underlying cause of bipolar disorder is also a long term
consumption of both extreme foods, mentioned above.
Solutions -- diet and life style
A balanced natural way of eating, based on whole grains,
vegetables, and other fresh foods will stabilize blood sugar
level, reduce mood swings, calm the mind and emotion, and
help people through hard times.

-- animal foods, hard baked foods, salty foods
Also avoid or minimized
-- sugar and other refined sweeteners, fruits/juice, and
stimulants (coffee, alcohol, aromatic tea, spices, drugs etc).

period of grieving.

Other considerations
Brain – intestines relationship
Microorganisms, living in the intestines are responsible for
synthesizing the group of B vitamins that are transported to the
brain, and in the form of glutamic acid, stimulate the nerves and
brains.
Simple sugars interfere with this process, expanding the brain
cells and tissues, resulting in loss of focus, concentration, and
clear thinking.
Energy in food and emotion -- Reactive Depression and Grief
Strong contractive foods also create emotional problems,
especially “attachment, possessiveness, and guilt”.
Hard baked food (bread, pastry, cookies, pretzels, etc) as well
as animal foods (meat, eggs, poultry, fish and sea food) and
salty food all tend to hold the emotions inside and prevent to let
them go.
People who eat those food in excess or long term tend to find it
hard to release old memories and constantly relive events that
happened in the past.

anxiety, doubt, skepticism, jealousy
