Ate a banana everyday for 6 years now...Breakfast: I eat peanut butter, 2 bananas, and a cup of Green tea everyday for breakfast to get me going throughout the day and I must say that I felt a lot better...the saying is true that you're what you eat, so eat healthy you guys.

I suffer from major depression and I thought it was just me; I crave bananas and either meat or eggs when I'm really suffering from my symptoms of depression...I make a banana protein shake and I feel better and sleep better....I don't know, I agree with you

[fouaddajani]

I have the opposite experience . The protein shake cause bad mood .

[EricSchwin]

That's why I'm depressed...I'm not eating bananas everyday. I'm going to make it a goal to eat two bananas a day with oatmeal, I have to make this a habit because I suffered depression for 3 years.

I believe it...you are what you eat.

3 bananas a day keeps the psychiatrist away.

Good positive thoughts. I liked when you said, "Mind, Body & Spirit...We must take care of all 3 in order to be healthy. " I used it as a quote: on Twitter & Facebook, hope that's alright :)

okey i got a question so this video says its required to take a bannana and some whey protein for depression ... how about only taking whey protein bannana flaviour ?

[kyonshi]

Do you have any advice about choosing a whey-based protein powder? There are so many different kinds, and I don't know what to look for. Unfortunately, all the websites I've found about how to choose a protein supplement is geared toward muscle building and not toward treating depression.

[Ziaxorz]

meh i alrdy posted this, , how about taking whey protein bannana flavour does that work with same results ?

[PogoFogo]

mam m suffering from whey protein side effects like depression, anxiety dizziness, insomnia nd fatty liver my life sucks now please suggest me some tips 😬

[jessejameshollywood]

get the whey protein that has all the essential amino acids such as tryptophan and phenelalaline and non essential amino acids such as tyrosine . Tyrosine is synthesized in the body into dopamine which is the reward Neuro transmitter and that one is the one that you feel all the time in your life . Honestly being out in the Sun also helps out with elevating serotonin levels @nd having elevated serotonin levels makes life so beautiful
