Your mental state and your food-intake are likely best of friends and from what we consume in our daily lives reflects the outcome of what our behavior will become tomorrow whether we like it or not. So, if you want to become what you most likely would want to be in the future, you better watch out your diet or else it's less likely you're going to have your dream life come true.
A research study was conducted in the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain about the relation of sugar and trans-fat consumption on human behavioral pattern. The researchers studied a group of almost 9,000 people for between 2-6 years as a part of a long-term, ongoing study. Excluded from the study were people with extremely high or low daily caloric intake, or had obesity-related diseases.
Participants were asked to report how frequently they eat a given list of foods ie. fastfoods (trans-fats) such as hamburgers, sausages and pizza; and sweet goods such as muffins, doughnuts and croissant.
At the beginning of the study, no one had been diagnosed with depression, or have taken antidepressants. However, by the end of the study almost 500 had been diagnosed with depression or have antidepressants in their system.
The new study showed that, consumers of fast food and sweets, compared with those who eat little or none, were 51 percent more likely to develop depression. The researchers saw that as depression levels increased, so did the amount of junk food eaten. The more depressed you are the more likely you are to consume large amounts of junk food. The correlation could also go the other way -the more fast food was consumed, the greater the risk of depression.
Usually people who eat high levels of trans-fat junk foods have personalities of being single or unattached, less active and have a poor dietary habits ie. consumes less fruits and vegetables and healthy fats like nuts, fish and olive oil. Heavy cigarette-smokers and workaholics (spending more than 45 hours of week work) are likewise manifesting to have a depressed way of living.
It's better to follow a controlled dietary plan than having nothing along the way. Balanced diet and proper exercise are always recommended by experts but for those regular people who are beginning to adapt a new way of healthy living, the paleo diet plan is recommendable by doctors, dieticians and even athletes and cross-fit trainers.
