Mood disorders are diseases in which a person experiences extreme expressions of emotions, such as sadness (in this case we are talking about depressive disorders) or joy (manic disorders). At the same time, mood swings have little connection with external events and are so intense that they affect the quality of life. Such diseases can be caused by various reasons, from genetics to sociocultural background, and require complex treatment. If you are prone to mood disorders (for example, hereditary ones), proper prevention is necessary. One of the tools for preventing mood is vitamin and mineral therapy. Cedar nut oil can help prevent mood disorders, as it strengthens the nervous system, normalizes hormonal levels, and helps establish normal sleep and wakefulness patterns.
Benefits for the nervous system
Severe stress can harm the nervous system, causing mood disorders. Cedar nut oil is rich in B vitamins that are recognized by doctors as the most valuable for the nervous system, and they work best in combination, exhibiting a synergistic effect. [1] In addition, the antioxidant properties of cedar nut oil reduce the negative effects of oxidative stress on the nervous system. Scientists have found that such an influence may be one of the prerequisites for mood disorders. [2] And for the normal functioning of the brain as the most important organ of the nervous system, amino acids from cedar nut oil are needed — in particular, alanine. [3]
Benefits for hormonal levels
Hormonal imbalances can also be a prerequisite for the development of mood disorders. For example, such disorders often occur in women in menopause precisely because of hormonal changes in the body. Cedar nut oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, folic acid, magnesium, flavonoids, and zinc: all these nutrients strengthen the health of the hormonal system, both as a whole and its individual organs and subsystems.
Normalization of sleep
Insomnia and other sleep disorders may be one of the symptoms of a mood disorder, one of its causes, or an aggravating factor. In any of these cases, normal sleep and wakefulness patterns should be established, which also requires nutraceutical support. Cedar nut oil contains the amino acid tryptophan that is essential for healthy sleep. Research has shown that tryptophan not only relieves insomnia, but also improves sleep quality. [4] In addition, magnesium from cedar nut oil has an indirect positive effect on sleep due to its benefits on the nervous system.
Regular intake of cedar nut oil is an effective comprehensive prevention of mood disorders. We wish you and your loved ones good health!
