Diet and Depression
A study in the November 2009 issue of The British Journal of Psychiatry found that eating whole foods like fruits, vegetables and fish seemed to protect against depression, while eating more processed foods seemed to increase the incidence of depression. This study had 3400 people in it for 5 years. Healthy food for a healthy mind …. and body. What processed foods in your diet could you replace with a whole food?
Gobbling = Gain
Another study, in the October 29, 2009 online version of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, was the first to measure how appetite and hormonal responses after meals affect weight gain. Basically, the study results show that eating quickly slows down the release of the hormones that make you feel full, so you eat more because you’re not satisfied. When it comes to eating Slowing = Loss.
