    Looking to change my life through diet

    I need your help! I am not looking for weight loss what i am looking for is:
    Help with my depression
    Help with low iron levels
    Help with very low energy
    Hopefully save some money too

    We eat meat but im not that keen so vegetarian would be nice but how do i make sure i keep up the iron.
    I want it so the whole family can eat it so im not making multiple meals.
    I want to be medication free but depression free also.
    I want to have energy i have none anymore


    Suggestions please

    My doctor has advised me to-

    Try cutting out excess salt, sugar, caffiene, and alcohol. These things make the body less efficient at absorbing nutrients.

    Fatty acids (fish, nuts, flaxseeds) are supposed to be good for depressive illnesses, as are the b-vitamins (oats, wholemeal cerials, brown and white rice, nuts, leafy greens, meat, dairy foods). Magnesium (brazil nuts, almonds, and legumes) and selenium (oysters, liver, sunflowerseeds, prawns)

    Not a dietry thing, but try to get out into the sun every day and to exercise. You absorb vitamin D from the sun, and it makes you feel good, so a walk outside, or some gardening will help with depression.

    HTH and I hope you're feeling better ASAP!!
