It is a little known fact that treating bipolar disorder also
involves being aware of your food consumption. With minor
dietary adjustments, bipolar sufferers can drastically reduce
the pain caused by the illness. Diet tips for those with bipolar
disorder can include: • Increase your intake of Omega 3 Fatty
Acids — recent research has shown that eating more foods high in
omega 3 fatty acids, such as nuts and fish, can lessen the
effects of bipolar disorder • Avoid simple carbohydrates and
foods high in trans and saturated fats — these are considered
unhealthy foods. They lead to quick weight gain and often worsen
the symptoms of bipolar disorder. • Eat foods that are rich in
nutrients — foods that are high in minerals and vitamins, such
as fruits and vegetables, will promote a healthy lifestyle and
prevent weight gain. These three simple adjustments can really
improve the condition of those suffering from bipolar disorder.
