Arachidonic acid plays a big factor in depression and anxiety and in mood fluctuations.

So if you want to be peak mental performance, that's a food that you would avoid, any food that has arachidonic acid that passes the blood brain barrier.

And like I said, chicken is 1 of those largest culprits.

Another question came up in terms of A couple of you asked a question, so I thought I'd just address it with all of you concerning other ways to optimize your brain health.

If you follow what I'm about to tell you, you will have these benefits.

How many of you know someone in this room that needs to be less moody?

Okay, looks like you should be signing up to talk with Dr.

Suffer less depression and or anxiety, be able to have an enhanced memory.

How many of you would think you, You wouldn't know if you need that.

But how many of you know someone in the air that may need that?

Be able to overcome bad thought or habit patterns.

Increase your ability to experience pleasure.

Is any of those things on that list, are there things that you would like to experience?

And also lower your risk of osteoporosis.

Basically, the answer for all those things, at least 1 of the answers, is to increase your level of serotonin.

It's a neurotransmitter and it helps regulate mood, metabolism, anger, aggression, sleep, all of these different things, appetite.

This is why we really focus in on it in our depression recovery seminars.

And I have all kinds of people your age that go through our depression recovery seminars who have totally messed up their lives or their lives threw them a curveball and they didn't know how to handle it and they come to our depression recovery 10-day program and the amazing thing is that once we get these kind of things in order they completely change in just 10 days And I am so happy to see it.

In fact, it used to be before I worked doing this more full-time that I'd take my vacation time to go and work because I saw the dramatic changes that happened in just 10 days.

And I would like to see every Adventist church be a ten-day depression recovery reversal center for the master.

I would like to see each Seventh Adventist Church be a healing center known in the community.

And I want you to work there how many of you want a job okay good excellent all right you're hired I just don't know where I'm gonna get the money a number of ailments are linked to low levels of serotonin anxiety depression bipolar disorders obsessive compulsive disorder That's an intrusive thought that you can't seem to get rid of.

Paul said, you know, I wanna do good, but I don't do good.

He had some obsessive, sinful thoughts and he wanted victory over those.

And I'm talking about this because someone asked me questions about tea and coffee yesterday.

So I'm covering the chicken in my answers and the coffee and the tea today.

We're the security guards just in case I'm in trouble here.

Beans, proper English breakfast will help you with that I suppose.

Navy beans, pinto beans are very high in tryptophan.

Lentils, red kidney beans, dried peas, soy.

1 of the highest sources is soy if you're not allergic to it.

Some people have allergies to soy, but there are many other sources you can see there that you could benefit from.

Nuts and seeds also are high in tryptophan.

Brazil, and you can see all the nuts with pumpkin seeds being the highest.

And I was staying at the Premier Inn, kind of a, I guess, a family-oriented hotel chain here, and they actually have pumpkin seeds as part of the menu every day.

So I would have my serotonin high so I could relate in positive manners to my family.

I ate a lot of all kinds of pumpkin seeds.

More than 100 enzymatic reactions are facilitated by folate or vitamin B6.

If you don't have this, you'll never get over-depressed and in anxiety.

So you might say, ah, I'm just gonna try and pray my way through it.

The answer to your prayer is folate, okay?

And I'm not against prayer, but sometimes we need to have information.

Boiled spinach, red bell peppers, turnip greens, shiitake mushrooms, garlic.

By the way, garlic is a good thing for young people especially.

It really keeps away those who are not really your friends, number 1.

It creates a zone of influence around you that's positive to keep away those you don't want near you.

Cauliflower, cayenne pepper, mustard greens, banana, very high in B6 and then celery and cabbage.

Asparagus, broccoli, kale, collard greens and Brussels sprouts.

I know Farida, isn't she from Brussels or the Netherlands?

So, by the way, if you guys ever get an invitation to go to Farida's house to eat, take the invitation.

I had a meal there like a year ago, and I'm still basking in the culinary delights.

So I had this beautiful meal and then I had a spiritual feast when her husband began breaking down the words to me during the meal.

I was overwhelmed spiritually and physically.

Sunlight also is something you need to have optimal brain health.

Best when you get it in the first 10 minutes after you wake up.

So if your friend opens the blinds on you and the sun comes in, bless that friend of yours.

Even though the proverb says that normally people do curse those who do this.

Sunlight is 1 of nature's most healing agents and the pineal gland in the brain uses all these raw chemicals to produce Serotonin, which I said is healthy for you.

So here is the tryptophan, serotonin, play by play book, okay?

This is especially good for you guys so you can be smarter.

How many of you need to be a little bit brighter to get that scholarship or to keep that scholarship or to recapture your place in the academic arena.

It's then turned into hydroxy tryptophan in the presence only of sunlight.

So you need to get that sunlight, you need to get that folate as well, vitamin B6.

Then when that happens, Serotonin is produced and that's what helps you with all the mood, anxiety, all those different things, memory and all those different kind of things.
