What is the greatest cure for depression without any drugs? I would say exercise and eating real food. I think you do those two things. Now, it's not gonna work for everybody. Some people have depression caused by trauma and, you know, all sorts of different factors. But those two things can make a huge difference. I don't think we fully recognize the mental health impacts of the way we're eating. When you're eating a diet that is, for example, has lots of sugar in it, you're gonna be on an emotional roller coaster. I mean, watch kids with sugar, you know? They think that chocolate or this kind of sweetened cereal makes them happy, and it does for a little while, but then the crash. And then the chaos. And that's true for us too. We have these ups and downs during the day that have a lot to do with our sugar intake.
