Do anyone realise that moods and emotional health can be drastically affected by the food you eat???

The brain chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, are very sensitive and can easily be affected by other foreign chemicals that enter our bloodstream.

Here are the five hidden chemicals that may be the reason for your emotional and mental health





Organophosphates

This class of chemicals is the top killers of life.Do anyone realised about this chemical? It can be found in pesticides and herbicides. A study is done and found that neurological problems such as anxiety, irritability, depression and restlessness are higher among farmers and their families who used organophosphate pesticides. now u know how dangerous and poisonous of Organophosphates.
these farmers are 6 times more at risk to suffer depression in their lifetime. There are farmers who committed suicide few years after expose to organophosphate.

Organophosphates affect our nervous system function. It is easily absorbed into our bloodstream through skin, mucus membranes, lungs and intestines. Once exposed, a person will experience headaches, dizziness, profuse sweating, blurred vision, respiratory problems, nauseating, vomiting, abdominal cramps and even loss of coordination as well as reflexes.

The only way to avoid organophosphates is to consume organic fruits, vegetables and baby food preparations.





Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

Have any idea about "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome?? If there is an awful irritation in your throat, sudden headache or dip in your mood, you are suffering from the “Chinese restaurant syndrome”. A studies have been carried out and most of the Chinese Restaurant in Asia uses TONS of MSG in preparing the dishes. Most of the process food are loaded with MSG too for example

Studies have shown that MSG is linked to mild headaches, migraines, itching, nauseating, vomiting, diarrhea, mood swings as well as depression. Some people who are really allergic to MSG would experience burning sensations, facial and chest pressure as well as eye inflammations.

Therefore, it is best to hav healthy home cooked food rather than having meal outside where the taste of the food actually comes from the artificial flavour enchancing. Use herbs and spices to zest up your food.






Artificial Food Colorings

Chemical colorings such as Tartrazine (E102 or FD&C Yellow 5) are especially harmful as they affect our emotional and behaviour of a growing child.some of the reactions are instant anxiety, migraines, clinical depression, itching, outbreaks of eczema and general weaknesses as well as sleep disturbances will appear after consuming food colouring.

The fact is that the manufacturers do have other alternatives.






Food Preservatives

Some people feel uneasy, heavy and having headaches after taking a particular canned food or drink. It could be due to the food preservatives. Another class of preservatives we have to watch out for is calcium propionate, which is to prevent mold. It is widely used in large bakeries that mass-produce breads. As times goes by, reactions such as headaches, migraine, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, tiredness, depression and fatigue will appear as the level of proprionate in ur body increases.





Heavy metals

Lead is an obvious cause for the increase of depression and aggressive behaviors in children.when our body is exposed to mercury, The same emotional and mental reaction will occur when our body is exposed to mercury. reactions caused by heavy metal would be impaired coordination, tremors, irritability, memory loss, excessive anger, depression and in more serious cases like blurred vision and muscle or joint pain.
