I did a quick google search, but couldn't take in much because of all things I developed a migraine. But at my cursory glance it appears that there is some research that supports our subjective experience.
I did learn some interesting things from the dietician, and got some really good name brands for low carb and good taste foods. But I need to either modify or ditch the diet. To be fair to her, I downplayed my mood disorder. To those who follow after me, it's probably a good idea to mention your mood disorder to your dietician.
I've not exercised much lately, but I did when I was younger. And I was one of the perhaps rare people who didn't benefit much moodwise or in energy. I distinctly recall noticing that fact at the time and being surprised. I also have the opposite from expected result from using exercise for anger. I usually end up more angry.
However, for unrelated reasons, we are looking into getting a manual treadmill for the house. The weather isn't really conducive to walking, and both my husband and I would like to take it up. I've been promised I can make it sacred uninterrupted reading time as I walk.
My husband was going to the gym two to three times a week, and it worked wonders for his mood. But he's all suppressed edgy energy.
I need to get him back there.
