    About this ebook

    Adults and children who have been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder can benefit from eating a bipolar diet. Bipolar disorders can be described as a psychological illness that manifests itself in intense low and high mood swings. While professionals in the medical field cannot recommend a specific cure for the illness, they can recommend changes in an individual's diet plan because they are closely related. Changes in the diet can assist with managing the condition and keeping it under control. Diet and Bipolar Disorder Even though bipolar disorders are not interconnected or associated or with various kinds of nutritional deficiencies, some of the most recent studies are indicating that certain nutrients are being linked with improving an individual's high and low mood swings. Based on this research, the nutrients that have been listed in the sections below can help with the symptoms but they will not take the place of the medicine that the physician has prescribed to a patient. Patients should also talk with their physician before making any major changes or adjustments in their regular diet plans and supplements. The patient can also share some of the information that they have found on topics like: Best Diet for Bipolar Disorder, Finding the Best Bipolar Diet book and Ketogenic Diet Bipolar plans. Diets and Improving the Mood Swings Omega 3 Fatty Acid Omega 3 fatty acids are recommended for a wide variety of illnesses and other conditions. This statement is also true for those who suffer with bipolar disorders. Therefore, some of the foods that should be added to the bipolar diet plan are different kinds of fish. For those who enjoy eating fish, they can choose herring, mackerel and salmon. Fish is considered to be an idea source of nutrients for this specific problem. In fact, some surveys show that people that eat large amounts of fish on a regular basis have less depression. Even though the bipolar and nutrient research is ongoing, omega 3 fatty acids have been identified as foods that lessen stress, while it also aids these individuals in focusing. In addition to eating fish, there are also other sources of omega 3 fatty acids and they include flaxseed oil and fish oil supplements. Lean Protein and Bipolar Diet Lean protein is recommended in many different types of diet plans. One of the main reasons for eating protein is due to its repair and building of muscle tissue. Some of the best and most common sources of lean proteins are turkey, chicken and lean cuts of red meat. However, for people who do not eat any type of meat, they can drink protein shakes as an added supplement. Complex Carbohydrates Most people like eating foods that contain carbohydrates because they are great and essential sources of energy. However, it is important to choose the right types of carbs if the individual would like to have energy that will last. Which means, they should fill their diets with the foods that contain complex carbs. Complex carbohydrates will keep the person from consuming too much sugar. Some of the common examples of complex carbohydrates can be found in fruits, whole grains and in vegetables. For instance, an individual can eat plenty of apples, peaches, oranges, grapefruits, Brussels sprouts, whole wheat bread and beans on their bipolar diet.

      Bipolar Diet - Heather Rose

      Introduction

      For anyone who has been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder this condition causes both physical and psychological problems that are of a state that can seriously affect their lives on a daily basis. The most important thing to understand about this condition is that the person suffering from it will experience extreme mood swings ranging from mania or hypomania to depression. As a result of these variations in the person’s moods the condition was in fact originally called manic depression and many people still refer to bipolar disorder as this.

      However the description described above can be somewhat misleading as this particular mental illness is much more complicated than you just going from being depressed to elated. Today it is quite common for someone to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder who happens to be depressed 99% of the time and suffers the occasion manic episode.

      As the medical profession still do not fully understand this condition many studies are still being carried out. But they do believe that the main reason people suffer from bipolar disorder is that certain chemical and electrical elements within their brain aren’t functioning correctly. Also through the studies carried out what they have found that those who do suffer from this particular form of mental illness usually are from a family where other members of it have suffered from some form of mental illness as well.
