A study carried out by researchers from the University of Binghamton in New York (United States) has evidenced that, unlike men, a high -calorie diet worsens the mental health of women.
To achieve this conclusion, published in the Journal of Personalized Medicine, experts dissected the different food groups that are associated with mental anguish in men and women of over 30 years, and studied the different dietary patterns in relation to the frequency of the frequency of the frequency of the frequency of theExercise and mental anguish.
Mental anguish and frequency of exercise were associated with different dietary patterns and lifestyle, which supports the concept of customizing diet and lifestyle factors to improve mental well -being.
"We find a general relationship between eating healthy, following healthy dietary practices, exercise and mental well -being.Interestingly, we found that for unhealthy dietary patterns, the level of mental anguish was higher in women than in men, which confirmed that women are more susceptible to an unhealthy diet than men, "explained researchers.
In his opinion, this investigation provides the necessary framework for health professionals to personalize dietary plans to promote exercise and improve mental well -being in mature adults.You could also provide a new perspective for the community of researchers in evaluating the role of diet in mental health.
According to a work published in 2019, Mediterranean style diets, rich in vegetables, legumes, fruits and nuts, whole grains, fish, dairy products, bird meat and little red meat, in addition to the use of olive oil for cooking,They would be able to reduce the risk of depression.
The Mediterranean diet has not only proven healthy and nutritious, as multiple studies have already suggested, but has also shown its potential to reduce cardiovascular risk, the risk of osteoporosis, cancer development and improve brain health.In addition, in previous investigations an association between this diet and a lower risk of depression would have already been found.
The work presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatry Association held in San Francisco (California) would once again confirm this association: adherence to the Mediterranean diet would reduce the probability of the symptoms of depression during life during life.And, in addition, such adhesion would be directly proportional to risk reduction.
In addition, carrying a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower level of stress, according to a new research from Edith Cowan University (Australia).
The study, recently published in the Clinical Nutrition scientific journal, examined the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake and stress levels of more than 8.600 Australians between 25 and 91 years participated in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study of the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute.
The results revealed that people who ate at least 470 grams of fruit and vegetables per day had 10 percent less stress levels than those who consumed less than 230 grams.The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating at least 400 grams of fruit and vegetables per day.
The principal researcher, Simone Radavelli-Bagatini, says that this study reinforces the link between diets rich in fruits and vegetables and mental stability."We discover that people who have a greater intake of fruits and vegetables are less stressed than those who have a lower intake, which suggests that the diet plays a key role in mental well -being," he explains.
