How long does it take for the brain to return to a normal chemical balance when changing to healthy food diet?

I’ve had a terrible diet my entire life eating nothing but processed food and artificially sweetened drinks. I’ve been seriously ill because of it and suffered depression. I was told that changing to a healthy diet would help to rebalance the body and mind. I was curous as to how long it would take before i started to notice a difference in myself.

2 weeks, in my experience. It’s different for everyone, though.
First, remember that this is merely an attempt and important step to helping you to a healthy state! Everyone’s body will react to different things. Therefore there simply can’t be a “time” that can tell you when you will feel the outcome.
In addition to changing your diet, I hope that you are also exercising. Exercising completly changes your mood too.
I honestly think you should start feeling better the first day you start because you have a lot to look forward to. When you make a goal and achieve it, that is incredibly rewarding. I had recently gained some weight and I didnt realize how it affected me. I finally took control, lost the weight, and now I am glad I dont have to buy new clothes that could fit my bigger size after all. Then I was even confident to wear a bathing suit again.
Now, in terms of medically speaking, I cant give any medical advice but I hope that if with these changes you dont feel a difference, you should seek medical advice from a physician.
I really hope everything goes well. I know how you feel and I am glad you are taking precautions! Take care and get well soon.
There are some feel good foods below. Hope it helps!
