We can see that we have achieved successful weight loss results in more than 95% of our clients . I have two golden rules for the patient who says "I want to lose weight, doctor, what can I do? " First of all, I say, should we walk 10,000 steps or 15,000 steps a day ?
I ask patients, what is the best walk, what is the best exercise? Brother, if I can make it a habit to drink vinegar with my best walking meals, the best thing would be apricots in Damascus. As for vinegar taken with food, I am not unhappy, bored or depressed.
I need to look at this first. Could there be a problem that triggers this depressive state or anxiety in me ? If a person's thyroid is working slowly, that person is much more likely to suffer from depression.
Because if a person's thyroid is not working well, stress is one of the most damaging situations to the thyroid. So if I want my thyroid to work properly, can chocolate increase happiness ? Of course it can increase.
Chocolate itself is not harmful, but most of the things we eat now . . .
If a person has a stomach problem because of consuming coffee, my belly swells like a pregnant belly after I eat it . The most common reason for this in society is. .
. Welcome, teacher. You're welcome, thank you.
Can we get to know you? My name is Dr David Dal. I graduated from Cerrahbaşat Medical Faculty.
I currently provide functional medicine services in Kocaeli. What is functional medicine? How did you meet?
Actually, the answer to this question depends on my preparation for the university exam . Now, while we are in high school, we are preparing for the university exam. Kanter, tears, we are under terrible stress, under pressure.
We don't pay attention to what we eat or drink. If you sleep, it will bring you justice. At such a time, of course, all these nutrition and lifestyle mistakes caused me to develop Psoriasis .
After this, of course, I did not seek any precautions for this while I was preparing for the exam . Because I was working hard. I didn't have time to go to the health center at that time.
I said, "Whatever, we'll see when I get into medical school. " The results have been announced. I got into medical school.
I said, "That's great, I'm going to Cerrahpaşa now. " I will be with the best teachers in Turkey. I said there that I would get rid of this disease in a very short time.
I went to faculty. I applied for CIL. I said I have such and such a disease.
Psoriasis. They gave me one cream. I applied the cream I bought to my skin.
SEDEF was relieved. He came again a month later. Come on.
Then I ride again. He relaxes a little. Then it comes again.
I said, okay, I have this Psoriasis. I relieve this with cream, but why does this PSOriasis exist? No matter what I do, this disease will not reoccur again.
In other words, it is important to find the reason that created the complaint, not the one that caused the complaint to me . During this period, I questioned this. Because this is the best medical school in Turkey.
I really love my school. I had the opportunity to meet very idealistic, very good doctors in Cerrahpaşa. But I couldn't help but ask this question.
What can a hospital that can't cure my simple skin case of Psoriasis properly fix in today's healthcare system? Of course, this is the funny part of the job. However, the experiences we had not observed at that time and the case results we saw really put patients at ease in an empathic sense.
But we cannot prevent the patient from coming to us again. So I started questioning some things there. These searches, this questioning process, eventually introduced me to functional medicine.
When you ask what functional medicine is, I actually give its medical definition as follows. By working together with the patient and the physician, we can identify the pathogens that cause chronic diseases. It tries to reverse the process of disease formation.
To me, this is what functional medicine means. But if you say this more simply, in a language we can understand a little more, the summary of all this, in my opinion, is functional medicine. This body is a car, we are all drivers of our own car.
We used this car correctly, no problems. But I used this car wrong, had an accident, and took it to the mechanic. The master repaired the car and returned it.
If I drive this car wrong again, won't I have an accident again? I will crash again. The trick here is not to find a good master.
The trick here is to be a good driver. In other words, functional medicine is a treatment model that teaches us how to drive a car correctly. Now computers, phones and televisions all have a user manual.
This body is a machine created by God. Surely there is a guide for this too. Certainly, this has its own dynamics and physiology with its own rules.
If we try to understand the language of our physiology and live a life in accordance with our nature, we move away from diseases and move closer to health. When we move away from nature, diseases begin to find us. One of the most important aspects of functional medicine is preventive medicine.
Of course, we care about this in every field of medicine. But unfortunately, we do not have the luxury of being able to explain anything to people about preventive medicine during the current hospital examination periods . Functional medicine has an advantage here.
You know, it was his doctor, his dietician, other healthcare professionals. In other words, you have the opportunity to spend an average of 1. 5-2 hours for each patient .
In fact, we need at least this much time to guide a person to understand his mistakes and change things . In this sense, preventive medicine is one part of the job, the other part is that I did something wrong and diseases came. When I take the wrong step back, the disease goes back.
You know, Hippocrates has a very nice saying. Hippocrates says: Ask a patient, how willing are you to heal from the reasons that make you sick? If you want to heal from the reasons that make you sick, it becomes much easier to recover from that disease.
This is another part of the job. Now, if we are talking about protecting or getting rid of a disease, we need to question why the disease occurs. That's why we talk about a health tree in functional medicine.
At the root of this tree are the basic causes of the disease. What are these? If a person has irregular sleep, is inactive, eats wrong food, worries too much about his/her experiences, has a stressful life, is constantly exposed to infections, toxins and heavy metals, the persistent mistakes made in nutrition and lifestyle in this root part will damage the biological systems in the trunk of the tree, depending on the genetic predisposition.
. Digestion, circulation, immunity, microbiota, hormones, etc. Depending on the damaged system in the trunk, disease occurs in the branch and disease-related complaints occur in the fruit part.
In classical medicine, we try to relieve the complaint by pruning the branch with medication. However, if I really want that tree to be good, I need to focus on the root of that tree. I don't want there to be any misunderstanding here.
Of course, medicines have an important place in our lives. The right medicine really does save lives. I'm just trying to explain that we need to get rid of this memorization and this simplicity .
Let the patient go to the doctor, the doctor give the patient a pill, let's put the pill in our mouth and get better. No. If the doctor does his medicine well and the patient treats his illness well, healing will come.
So it's the doctor's job to write a prescription. So what should I do as a patient? There you have it: sleep, movement, nutrition, etc.
When I take my responsibility, the doctor's prescription leads to healing. What can be done for weight loss? Whatever question you ask me, I'll look at this first .
Why might this disease occur? So, if you asked about losing weight, then the answer is this. Why might a person have ingested ashes?
There is a very simple mathematics of removing ash. Positive disruption of calorie balance. There are calories we take in, and there are calories we spend.
It's very simple, I say it in a way that a primary school student can understand. If the calories we take in are more than the calories we spend, these excess calories will tend to be wasted in the body. Some people here say that even though I eat very little, I get more ash than others, because drinking water would help.
Yes, there may be some problems with the body's fat burning metabolism . I wonder if my body can burn what I eat? I want to explain with a simple example.
You are in a car, when you press the gas with one foot on the brake, the car does not go. If I want this car to start, I will take my foot off the brake and step on the gas. Now, some metabolic problems also slow down the metabolism and prevent the body from burning fat.
For example, if a person's protein works slowly, if he has insulin resistance , if his intestinal flora is not correct, if vitamin minerals such as vitamin D and B12 iron are deficient, if his hormones are irregular, this can slow down the metabolism and harm fat burning. Therefore, when I have one of these problems, I can easily get ashes even if I eat less . Then what should I do about losing weight?
First I need to make sure this car isn't on the brakes. So, I need to fix the reasons that brake the metabolism. Maybe support can be obtained for this part of the job, that is, professional health support.
Now I've taken my foot off the brake, then I'll step on the gas. What should I do at the accelerator part? I definitely need to create a calorie balance.
So do I need to count calories for this? No, I will not count calories, but I will become calorie conscious. Especially nowadays, there are foods that are very high in calories and make you eat as much as you eat, I will try to reduce these foods as much as I can.
What are these? For example, when you consume refined bread or pastries that have limited fiber content, or when you consume a processed sugar product, that is, when you constantly consume desserts, cakes, pastries, buns, pastries, and junk food, these foods will not create a feeling of satiety in the body. On the contrary, since it stimulates insulin, the more we eat, the more we will have to eat.
Insulin is a hormone left over from our times of famine. As insulin increases in the blood, the body tries to store the food it constantly consumes, thinking that it is in famine. Now, I constantly consume refined foods with simple sugar, simple flour, white flour and white sugar, which will stimulate my insulin .
Since this will stimulate my insulin, this will make me eat as much as I eat, I will not be full. This time I will increase calories without realizing it. One of the most important reasons for weight problems, I attribute it to refrigerators nowadays.
You know the saying, guns were invented and bravery was ruined. I think the refrigerator was invented and the concept of weight was ruined. There is an interesting statistic about Turkish society.
Unfortunately, we are the first in Europe in obesity. We are one of the leading societies in diabetes. When we look at what could be the reason for this, unfortunately, the amount of wheat consumed in an average year in the world is 67 kilos for a person , while in Turkey it is more than 200 kilos.
In other words, we consume wheat alone, 3 times the world average. Of course , when all these excess calories are combined with the intensity of desk jobs, urban lifestyle, and inactivity, they will inevitably tend to accumulate somewhere. Because you know, there is a rule in physics: existence does not exist, nothing does not exist.
It just transforms. Now we eat this, the body will turn this into something . We will either spend it or what we cannot spend will accumulate in our body.
That's why we won't count calories here, but we definitely need to gain calorie awareness. There is a simple rule that I try to teach to my patients and clients who apply to me . I think it is one of the areas where we eat the most today , especially in the Turkish community.
We come home in the evening and have our dinner. After the meal, we consume the same number of calories in the post-meal snack. So I am stating my own observations and experiences.
When we eliminate snacking after dinner, we can see that we get more than 95% successful weight loss results for our clients . I have two golden rules for the patient who says "I want to lose weight, doctor, what can I do? " First of all, I say that we will have our evening meal after 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, and we will have this meal earlier if possible.
After that, we will close a few shops. The second rule I mentioned is that this machine is not a machine programmed for inactivity. In other words, when our machine is stationary, it gives malfunctions and problems .
We need to make it a habit to move every day, even if just a little . Let's not eat a single bite after 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening . Let's try to move regularly for at least 30 minutes every day .
Teacher, should we walk 10,000 steps or 15,000 steps a day? I ask patients, what is the best walk? What is the best exercise?
Brother, the best walk is one that you can do regularly. You say 15,000 steps every day, you do it for 3 days, you don't do it on the 4th day. This is not the best walk for you.
There is a hadith that I like, it says : The most beloved of deeds are those that are continuous, even if they are small . I also say that the most beneficial walk is the one that is continuous, even if it is small. Can you afford 20 minutes every day?
Walk for 20 minutes, but do it every day. If we can make it a habit for 20 minutes, 30 minutes if possible , you will see that you get really good results. There is also a problem: He goes on a diet for one day, goes on a diet for two days, and on the third day , his model breaks down and this time he gives up.
This is not the right approach. The ability of water to pierce stone is not due to its power, but because of its continuity, so we should not expect a miraculous change in just a week or 10 days . Maybe at this point I would like to make a suggestion from life to support the process.
I have a suggestion to help patients who have reached a certain level regarding their weight, to lose weight in order to protect themselves . I will tell you a few pieces of information, I am trying to explain that if you make them a habit, little by little, you will definitely protect yourself . The first is green tea.
But it won't be a shake, it will be a brew. We will drink one or two cups of brewed green tea every day. When we leave a cinnamon stick in it while doing this, our metabolism will accelerate with green tea, our blood sugar will be balanced with cinnamon and our appetite will be suppressed.
Apart from this, we need to increase fiber intake to create the feeling of bulk . Here are a few things I recommend. It doesn't matter which one.
You can choose any one according to your taste. If 1-2 tablespoons of flaxseeds or oats or raw seeds a day are made into a regular habit, it will reduce our desire to eat by creating fullness in our stomachs. Finally, vinegar is a food that I love very much, which is both valuable as it is circumcised and has a truly beautiful scientific equivalent.
If I can make it a habit to drink vinegar with my meals, better than that would be apricots in Damascus. Now, you can dilute a teaspoon or a tablespoon with your meal or put it in salads, soups, all of them. If you do not have a serious problem such as gastritis and reflux, vinegar taken with the meal will help the digestion of food by increasing the midacid.
It will facilitate the digestion and digestion of proteins. In addition, it will help the feeling of fullness by lowering blood sugar. What do you recommend for patients with slow thyroid function?
This question is actually one of the most common cases we encounter in the clinic. 80% of our followers on Instagram are women. Unfortunately, men are not as interested in such healthy things as women .
Likewise, since most of our patients are women, we deal with thyroid cases very frequently, as thyroid is one of the most common diseases in women today . Now, whatever question you ask me, the first thing I will do is this. Why might this disease occur?
Is it ok? If a person's thyroid is working slowly, I woke up one morning , went out of the house, and my thyroid was slow. No, the thyroid doesn't slow down for no reason.
The primary question we need to ask is why might a person's thyroid slow down? There are two common reasons for this in society. There is either iod deficiency or Hashimoto's.
In other words, the immune system works on the thyroid. I would like to touch upon these, piece by piece, and each of them separately . First of all, the issue of IoT is important.
Because we encounter a lot of misinformation and misuse on this subject. Now iodine is a molecule that is necessary for the thyroid's hormone production . From where?
Because we call it thyroid hormone. What I call T4 is tetra iodothyronine. It actually means 4 iodine rings attached to the amino acid tyrosine .
So what does this mean? Iodine is needed for my thyroid to produce hormones. But iot is something that is harmful, either too little or too much .
So we can look at it from the perspective of a double-edged sword. Iodine deficiency damages the thyroid's hormone production. However, excess iodine can also disrupt the hormone production of the thyroid due to the Volchaykov effect.
Or, in some people, it may cause overactivity of the thyroid. Or some diseases of the herb may trigger diseases such as Hashimoto's and Graves' diseases. So we'll avoid extremes here.
Today, the country that consumes the most iod in the world is Japan. Japan's average dose of iod varies between 1000 micrograms and 3000 micrograms per day. Now we use Lugoliots.
Not 5 percent, but 6. 25 milligrams. So today, when I use one drop, five percent Lugol, I use more than twice as much iod as the Japanese average.
Unfortunately, when we increase this to 5 or 10 drops a day, studies have shown that it can cause thyroid dysfunction in one in 5 patients. Therefore, when using iod, we will definitely pay attention to the dosage and, if possible, try to use it under the supervision of a doctor. Secondly, especially today, there are also the opposite problems.
Not using any iod. Nowadays, the foods we can get iod from are seafood. But it is not easy to meet iod with seafood .
What has been done for this? Iodine has been added to the salt. Now, when we choose non-iodized salts, this can cause us to develop an iodine deficit, an iodine deficiency and a slowdown of the thyroid in the long run .
The first question I ask in the clinic when I see someone with a T4 level below 1 or a slow thyroid is the first question I ask. I wonder if you are using non-iodized salt. And unfortunately, most of the time the answer is positive.
At this point, the issue is not market salt, rock salt, Himalayan salt. You can use Himalayan salt, you can use rock salt. These mean that the salt is unprocessed.
However, rock salt does not naturally contain enough iodine . Therefore, whatever salt we use, let's make sure that it contains iodine. Ok.
Now this is the iot part. The second part is Hashimoto. Hashimoto part is not actually a disease of the thyroid.
Hashimoto is a disease of the immune system. Hashimoto was discovered by a Japanese doctor. His name is Hashimoto.
Its real name is Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroiditis. What does it mean in Turkish? Chronically my immune system, Lymphocytes also attack the thyroid.
This causes inflammation in the thyroid. So, if I am looking for a treatment for Hashimoto's, what should I fix? Whatever the source is, I need to fix it.
So I need to fix the immunity. So where is my immune system? 80% of the immune system is in the intestines.
In fact, the treatment of Hashimoto's begins with correcting the intestine. Therefore, Hashimoto patients may need professional support for such a comprehensive treatment . It is not an easy thing to do an intestinal treatment yourself .
But I can talk about some foods and some plants that I recommend they should definitely have in their lives. The name of the food that Hashimoto patients need as much as bread, water and air is Selenium. Selenium is found mostly in Brazil nuts.
But there is no harm in using 100 micrograms or 200 micrograms daily as a supplement . One of the questions we get most about Selenium is, will it cause any harm if we use it for a long time? Will there be poisoning?
What happens? Studies on selenium have shown that it causes the least harm at 800 micrograms. Related to this, should I use 800 milligrams myself ?
Of course I won't use it. So I don't need to exceed 200. But until now, no significant harm has been observed in using 100 micrograms or 200 micrograms .
Now, apart from Selenium, there are anti-inflammatory foods that can help relieve the thyroid from immune pressure by correcting the immune system. Chief among these is black cumin. It has been shown that black cumin prevents the immune attack on the thyroid with the thymoquinone it contains and improves antibody levels and anti-tepo.
Apart from that, there are blueberries. It is one of the thyroid's favorite foods, thanks to the antisyenidins and flavonoids it contains . Apart from this, what else should I do for my thyroid?
Can I use curcumin? I can use it. I can consume leather grass, I can consume cress seeds.
I can eat lots of greens and eat healthy. In general, I can do this. Apart from this, stress is one of the situations that harms the thyroid the most .
In fact, one of the organs most damaged by stress in the body is the thyroid. Unfortunately, we have a negative experience regarding this. As you know, we had a bad earthquake in our country about 2 years ago.
During this painful period, we had clients and patients that we followed and helped from the earthquake region. At that time, we saw that in patients with very low levels of antibodies, their antibodies increased to very high numbers, ranging from thousands, to thirteen hundred, to one thousand four hundred, in the measurements taken after the earthquake . So, if I want my thyroid to work properly, I actually need to pay close attention to stress management.
Apart from this, will my thyroid produce hormones? It will produce. This requires raw materials.
If my body is deficient in iron, my thyroid may not work properly. If I do not take vitamin B, B12, yoghurt, tyrosine, that is, enough protein , if there are vitamin mineral deficiencies or protein deficiency in my body, these will prevent the thyroid from producing hormones in a healthy way. So we look at it a little bit like this.
Let's create the environment necessary for the thyroid to function properly. The thyroid is already ready to produce hormones. What can be done for stomach and intestinal complaints?
Now let's start from the beginning here. One of the most common problems we encounter in our society is that stomach acid begins to weaken, especially after the age of forties. Stomach acid is much more important in our body than we think has duties.
It has important roles in digestion , especially in terms of digesting the proteins in the food we eat, eliminating and cleaning the microbes we are exposed to from outside in the stomach, and the stomach is one of our most important lines of defense in protecting the body. Now, when stomach acid begins to decrease , we have difficulty in digesting what we eat. What do we see this as in practice?
Sir, I am eating, even though I eat a little, I feel full. Or when I sit down to eat, I feel like an ox is sitting in my stomach . What this means, in essence, is the weakening of stomach acid.
What should I do in such a situation? I need to raise my stomach acid. So, how can I increase my stomach acid?
The cheapest, most accessible form of this is vinegar. So I try a little vinegar with the meal. I'll see if my digestion gets easier.
What can I use other than vinegar? For example, I can increase my stomach acid with lemon. Of course, here I consume cola, soda, sugary drinks, etc.
to increase my stomach acid. We do not consume. Well, we do this by increasing our stomach acid with natural acid sources .
I ate, the food I ate burned my stomach or gave me heartburn. This is where the stomach barrier in particular weakens. Then, I will try to eliminate the acid with stomach protectors, relieve the complaint, but strengthen the stomach barrier instead of harming the stomach .
At this point, there are resources that a person can reach on his own . And of course, there are herbal, phytotherapeutic or functional supports that are stronger, under the supervision of a doctor. I myself want to strengthen my stomach.
I buy tahini very simply, but if possible, I buy the raw, unroasted tahini. I start by consuming a teaspoon of raw tahini every morning before I start eating , or a tablespoon depending on my complaint . Sesame oil especially has mouse studies.
They are giving the animal something that can harm the stomach. They also serve tahini on the side. It is observed that the damage in the stomach has decreased.
There are some well-known herbal supplements other than tahini. There are similar herbal supplements such as bitter melon, calendula , St. John's wort, marshmallow flower .
Some of these, such as St. John's Wort, are things that should be used under medical supervision. I am not saying that we should use such supplements on our own, but using them under the supervision of a doctor can eliminate the need for medication and eliminate complaints by strengthening the stomach barrier.
Other than that, let's get into the gut a little more. For example, I ate, my belly swells like a pregnant belly. In fact, the most common cause of this in society is irritable bowel or IBS.
It is thought that there are millions of undiagnosed IBS patients in society today . The most common and most common underlying cause of IBS is SIBO. Overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine.
These proliferating bacteria are literally sharing our food. We ate, the food we ate went from the stomach to the intestines. In fact, digestion is basically an event that takes place in the small intestine, most of it.
Before we digest this food in the small intestine, the bacteria that multiply here share our food. They produce gases such as hydrogen and methane. This time, after I eat, my belly swells like a pregnant belly.
Depending on the type of gas produced by the bacteria, our toilet habits begin to deteriorate, resulting in diarrhea or constipation . For such a situation, treatments may be required under the supervision of a doctor, including low nutritional intake and some herbal supplements or medications. SIBO is not a disease that a person can easily fix on their own .
Apart from this, one of the biggest problems experienced by the intestines today , the biggest torment we inflict on our intestines, is constipation. Now a person is normally asked to go to the toilet with every meal he eats. Because the intestinal passage has a duration.
If I were happy with what I was trying to expel in my gut, the body will take it in anyway. I'm not happy with this so I'm trying to remove it. But there is a time limit for this.
If I cannot go to the toilet at least once a day , these toxins remaining in the intestine begin to be absorbed back into the blood. This time, increased toxins in the body form the basis of chronic diseases in us . In our opinion, constipation is a major disease in itself.
So constipation causes this, it causes that, it's true. But we also consider not going to the toilet every day as a disease. So what do we do if we have constipation?
Simply put, what we will do is increase the amount of fiber in the foods we eat. What is fiber? Carbohydrates in plants.
Especially these carbohydrates swell in the intestine, increase the density of the intestine and stimulate the urination reflex in the intestine. Of course, I increased my fiber intake, I increased my water intake, if I don't have enough, I can use magnesium strat, if not, I need to question my movement. The intestine is a muscle, after all.
As I move, the muscles in my intestines also work. As I increase my movement, the mobility in my intestines also increases. Therefore, my intestines work.
Inactivity can also trigger constipation. I think we can be relatively helpful this way. Is there any harm in consuming too much coffee?
It shouldn't exist in its essence. Why? If my stomach barrier is strong, the acid increase that will occur from consuming coffee should not affect my stomach.
There is very interesting information here. In such cases, people blame the acid and try to reduce it with stomach protectors and similar conditions. But this is not the right approach.
From where? We know this very well. Acid in children, stomach acid is much more than in adults.
But stomach problems in children are less common than in adults. Then I need to subtract this from here. The problem is not in excess stomach acid, but in the weakness of the barrier.
If a person has a stomach problem because of consuming coffee, he needs to strengthen his stomach barrier. He can try this naturally with the supports I mentioned, or he can choose stronger, standardized supports under the supervision of a doctor. What can be done to increase the happiness hormone?
If there is a disease or a problem, there is an underlying cause. Well, I'm unhappy, I'm bored, I'm not depressed. I need to look at this first.
Could there be a problem that triggers this depressive state or anxiety in me ? First, we will take a look at our metabolism values and blood values . If a person's thyroid is working slowly, that person is much more likely to suffer from depression.
For example, I remember during my faculty years. In psychiatry internships, thyroid tests are performed in patients whose depression persists despite using antidepressants . I wonder if there is a problem with his thyroid.
Because if a person's thyroid is not working well, their psychology may not respond to this situation even if they use medication. Therefore, first I need to check whether my thyroid hormone is working well . Apart from this, I need to check my vitamin minerals such as vitamin D, B12, magnesium and ensure that they are at optimal levels .
I mean, I say my psychology should be good, but we actually have a relationship between our soul and our body. For example, if my arm bleeds, will this disrupt my psychology? It spoils.
Or if I have pain in my body, will it affect my psychology? Effects. This means that a problem in the body can also cause problems in the soul.
Therefore, physiological problems in the body must first be eliminated. Optimally, I need to increase these blood values to the desired range. I wonder if I have constipation in my intestines after removing this ?
If I have constipation in my bowel, this can affect my happiness, which can affect my psychology. Therefore, I will correct the causes that may cause physiological problems. Apart from this, I will pay attention to my sleep and movement, which are very important in order to make my psychology stronger .
If a person does not sleep regularly at night and constantly sleeps late, the hormones expected to be produced in the body at those hours begin to decrease. For example, melatonin deficiency can cause chronic depression in the long term . I'm not saying we shouldn't go to bed late at night, but trying to sleep most of the time between 10 and 4 a.
m. , when melatonin is produced regularly, is one of the best measures we can take against depression. People who chronically have sleep problems and insomnia have a higher risk of depression.
Similarly, people who are depressed also have more sleep problems. So, we can say that there is a connection between these. Likewise, regular movement and regular exercise reduce the level of cortisol, the stress hormone, in the body and increase serotonin, the happiness hormone.
In fact, exercise itself is a free natural antidepressant. Apart from this, there are some herbal supplements that exist in nature and can help increase serotonin. When you look at its essence, what we call serotonin is a molecule synthesized from tryptophan amino acid.
Therefore, when we increase the amount of tryptophan, we can increase our serotonin. Of course, serotonin does not cross the blood-brain barrier by itself . When we use tryptophan as a supplement, we can increase the happiness hormone in the body.
Apart from this, there are some herbal supports. So, depending on the extent of the complaint, lemon balm tea or fennel tea can also relieve us. In case of more serious problems, St.
John's wort, valerian ophicinalis, and valerian can relieve us. We can choose the simplest ones ourselves. For slightly stronger supplements, it may be safer to take them under the supervision of a doctor or by consulting a pharmacist .
But we can easily say that these will also be good for your site. Actually, chocolate itself is not harmful. But unfortunately, most of the things we eat now are chocolate- looking junk foods and harmful foods.
So, just because I am going to buy 2 grams of tryptophan, I am actually taking a lot of harmful things along with it. In other words, palm oil is a saturated fat and of course its constant use and regular use is not something we like at all in terms of cardiovascular health . Now here is the question: Can chocolate increase happiness?
Of course it can increase. Because it contains tryptophan. Anything containing tryptophan increases happiness.
But if we are going to talk about chocolate specifically, it is known that dark chocolate and those with high cocoa content are more effective in this regard. What do you think about My Dram? It is one of the channels that I have followed and liked for many years and that has changed and beautified my perspective on life .
You know, Sadi Shirazi has a very nice saying . The world is not such a commodity that it is worth a price. Sometimes we care about the world very much and we get caught up in the problems of this world we care about.
It is stated in the Hadith that if Allah valued the world, He would not allow the poor to drink even a drop of water. We sometimes have difficulty understanding the worthlessness of the world here. We are having difficulty establishing this balance.
One of my favorite sayings is actually death is a very good medicine. Now, when a person thinks about death, he understands the transience of existence and does not attach importance to temporary things as if they were permanent . Now we accept the world as permanent, we care very much about the people in it.
This time, when something negative happens, we have difficulty managing it. I can say that one of the most beautiful aspects of my dream made me love the afterlife. In that respect, it is a great blessing, a great comfort for a person to think that there will be no bad things after death and to be able to live in this comfort.
In this sense, I actually receive service from Hayalhanem like a psychologist . From time to time, when I get bored like this, when illnesses, work, forces and troubles get too busy, I watch a video of My Dramhouse and I think I really relax. In this sense, you provide a very good service.
May God keep it forever. If they knew some secrets, this wouldn't happen. The secrets of happy marriage from the pen of Mehmet Yıldız are now onkitapyuzu.
