Did you know fast food can be detrimental to your mental health?
Spanish researchers published a study earlier this year in Public Health Nutrition where they tracked nearly 9000 people to see if their consumption of fast foods and commercial baked goods influenced the risk of depression.
What the researchers were able to find is that among the nearly 500 cases of depression among the participants, there seemed to be a higher risk for depression among those who consumed fast food and commercial baked foods.
Remember, eat a variety of whole foods (including whole grains, and fresh fruits and vegetable), and limit your processed food intake. A healthy body is a healthy mind.
