A, B, C, F
Monitoring intake, offering laxatives as needed, facilitating sleep, and promoting exercise as tolerated all promote a normal body processes such as adequate rest, nutrition, elimination, and activity, functions which are often negatively affected by vegetative depression. Increasing the intake of stimulants such as caffeine may make the patient feel jittery and anxious when the patient is already feeling unwell. No research supports a connection between processed food and mood disorders.
