Gluten-free eating has helped many depressed people feel consistently better. The key is being consistent.
Many people have mild allergies that they are not even aware of. These people have reported that within a few days on a gluten-free diet they have noticed a great difference in how they felt overall. These differences have been described as “less sluggish”,” calmer”,”and ” not so bloated and swollen”. Many have reported even losing a few pounds of water retention.

Vitamin D is another reported depression lifting habit . People who take 5000 iu daily have reported feeling more energy within a few days. It is a substance that has been overlooked.
