Nutrients in scallops (and an easy cooking idea)
Sea scallops are a great depression-fighting food. They are loaded with vitamin B-12 (a vitamin for depression), zinc, magnesium, and iron. In the book Rebuild from Depression, I list scallops as a "depression buster food." I buy my scallops...
Oyster nutrient content: A mineral-rich, depression-fighting food
Oyster is packed with nutrition. It is an exceptional source of zinc, iron, and vitamin B-12, all nutrients that fight depression. In fact, it is so high that I consider oyster to be a "depression buster food" as I...

Fermented Nettle Tea: An Iron Booster
I made passing mention of this tea idea in my ebook on iron-rich foods. Nettle tea is a traditional remedy for low iron levels but it is interesting that nettle is also fairly high in tannins which bind iron. My...
To-Go Ware Lunch System
