Four factors that can cause 'mood swings'

You can simply call it 'mood swings.' That is not saying anything. But not only one's mental health, but relationships which are affected by these fluctuations. This problem occurs not only during menstruation. There are many reasons for them. Let’s take a look.

Lack of hydration

Fatigue, difficulty concentrating, migraines, and mood swings, can happen if the body's dehydrated. As dilution decreases, blood flow to the brain also decreases. This can lead to negative emotions such as anger, irritability and tension. It has been found that neurons in the brain detect dehydration in the body and transmit this information to other parts of the brain. Drinks like alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, increasing the production of urine, more than normal. Excessive urination can cause dehydration, which can cause problems.

Sugary foods:

Blood sugar levels, gut health and balanced diet choices all affect the stability of our moods. For example, sugar stimulates the nervous system and secretes hormones that temporarily stimulate pleasure, such as serotonin and dopamine. Eating rich foods can cause irritability and inattention after a while.

Intestinal health may also impact on your emotional health. 90% of the good chemical serotonin is formed in the gastrointestinal tract. So to keep the mood happy, we need to protect the health of the gut first. Consume more fruits and vegetables, and less processed foods.

Magnesium deficiency:

Magnesium is an important mineral for hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body, some of which are beneficial for normalising our mood. When this mineral content is low, we may experience a variety of symptoms that can affect our mood, such as anxiety, irritability, depression, low moods and headaches. Magnesium helps to stabilise blood sugar levels, and magnesium is essential for relieving symptoms of depression. It also helps to improve and stabilize moods.

Fatigue and Insomnia:

A combination of factors such as stress, unhealthy diet, medical conditions and insomnia can cause fatigue. Feelings of exhaustion can affect us both mentally and physically. Sleep deprivation can easily lead to mood disorders, anxiety, depression and feelings of depression. There are days when we are sad and days we are happy; this is perfectly normal. Rapid or severe changes in mood can be a cause for concern. Mood changes can be triggered by a variety of medications. If mood swings interfere with your daily life, see a good psychiatrist.
