Your Diet Impacts Mental Health Too!!
If you are eating a diet filled with fat, sugar, sodium and lots of calories, you may not only be harming your body – you may also be damaging your mental health. A new study out of Australia suggests that following the typical Western diet may increase depression risk by as much as 52%.
The study's authors point out that nutrition affects brain chemicals, as well as hormones, inflammation and even your immune system.
