hey guys I’m gonna talk about two really important minerals in depression okay so if you’re depressed or you know someone who’s depressed haven’t watched this video okay so let’s start with chromium if you research chromium depression you’ll get a lot of data a lot of research on the connection between chromium and a depression but they don’t really tell you why it works and there’s also if you type zinc and depression you’ll see a lot of other data as well but they’re not really telling you why it works and the reason why these two minerals are very effective is because they both are intimately involved in stabilizing blood sugars chromium helps the blood sugars become stable a lot of diabetics pre-diabetics take chromium and they do very well if you’re gonna take chromium you want to do 600 micrograms per day okay and zinc is necessary for the production of insulin in fact the cells that make insulin absorb a lot of zinc out of all the cells in the body most of the zinc is in these cells that make insulin that’s called beta cells in the pancreas so that’s interesting so if you were gonna use this I would recommend 30 milligrams okay so these two are really effective so let’s go a little bit further if you look at the blood sugars and let’s say you have low blood sugar okay because the insulin is high because you have insulin resistance and the body’s just making more because it’s not connecting okay so you might have hypoglycemia or a subclinical version which doesn’t always show up on a blood test now the brain is the number one target for hypoglycemia and the question is why well because the brain does not store sugar like the liver and the muscles it doesn’t have glycogen so it’s dependent on the sugar in your blood okay so if there’s low sugar in the blood the brain suffers big-time and your mood goes straight down and you have another factor of insulin resistance which is behind this whole cascade which is involved with not absorbing a protein that will not absorbing amino acids which are necessary for the building blocks of neurotransmitters like dopamine serotonin although like GABA all the different transmitters that elevate your mood so we really have a double-edged sword with this depression so these are just two minerals that you can take in addition to doing keto and in a minute fasting thanks for watching hey tell me what you think about this video go ahead and comment below and give me your feedback
