Hopefully you do not stress if you read this article. A new study says that eating fatty foods or processed foods will lead to depression and anxiety.
This fact is obtained from the research team from the University of Melbourne, Australia. They surveyed 1046 women aged 20-93 years randomly, for more than 10 years. They then make a psychiatric evaluation and assess women diet regularly. From there it found that women who apply western-style diet-such as burgers, pizza, white bread, chips, and drink high-sugar levels more likely to have mood disorder than those who apply the Australian diet, namely vegetables, fruits, red meat, fish, and whole wheat.
This possibility remains valid, regardless of her age, weight, social and economic status, education, physical activity, smoking and drinking. This is certainly surprising, since these factors are interrelated. For example, people who apply poor diet, weight increased, and this causes depression. Or, people who are depressed can escape to the food, and this can make weight gain. Why just because eating junk food and become depressed?
Unfortunately, the research team concluded that the only cause of the reversal can not be excluded by their study. But look strong evidence that diet and mental health are interrelated. And this is quite worrying.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than 26 percent of Americans over the age of 18 years (or 1 in 4 people) had mood disorder such as depression and anxiety. Depression is also seen more women than men experienced. Could it be because more women who had fled to food when under stress?
