The researchers analyzed the diet of nearly 33 thousand people from five countries, trying to establish a connection between their day-to-day diet and depression. Scientists have called the fast food diet “inflammatory”, and for good reason.
According to the head of the research team of Camille Lassalle, if there is mostly fatty and sugary foods, you can earn systemic inflammation, which affects not only the intestines but the entire body.
“Dangerous “inflammatory” molecules may affect sections of the brain that are responsible for mood,” — said the scientist.
The researchers say that junk food can not only aggravate depresiju, but also cause of its occurrence. To avoid this, researchers are advised to try the Mediterranean diet and begin eating fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts.
However, Professor of metabolic medicine at the University of Glasgow Navid Sattar disagreed with the statements colleagues. According to him, the man is difficult to deduce from depression only diet.
“People with unstable mentality often eat poorly. Proper nutrition, unfortunately, did not help their state,” said Sattar.
