How does curcumin help with depression?

Curcumin increases something called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF increases a protein that helps neurons make new connections.

Depression, shrinking of the hippocampus, and many brain disorders are linked to low BDNF.

Curcumin also has the ability to increase serotonin and dopamine. These neurotransmitters directly affect your feeling of happiness and satisfaction.

If you’re going to take curcumin, it’s also a good idea to do Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting. These can all have a major effect on your mood.

Other things that have the potential to boost your mood include:

• Vitamin D

• Probiotics

• Exercise
